When will local authorities receive the identified units? The mechanism might be complicated.

It might have a lot of legalities attached to it. I accept the Minister has set up the special purpose vehicle to deal with the issue. However, we need action. We must get the mechanism up and running, identify properties, secure agreement and convert them into social housing or bring them under the remit of voluntary housing groups. The situation is urgent.
