Perhaps for all our sakes, the Minister of State might clarify what she said earlier. Most of us interpret this as providing that once people are in receipt of HAP, their need for housing will be deemed to have been met and, therefore, they will come off the housing list. Is that the case? The key issue. is whether a person retains an entitlement to local authority housing. Does he or she come off the list once he or she in receipt of HAP? If so, this is a major departure from what we all understand to be social housing and the State's responsibility to those who are not in a position to provide housing for themselves.
