I will extend an invitation. It would be good for Department officials to go there. I realise it is an unprecedented request to civil servants at a committee meeting, but it would be good to go down and see what it is like for one urban centre to have major accommodation centres for people – now asylum seekers – and how this impacts the schools, and also see the good work being done. I do not want to take away from the latter.

I want to use my limited time, if that is okay. Is Mr. Loftus still in the building unit?
