If a family in receipt of rent supplement has a difficulty with a landlord who is increasing the rent, I want them to use the protocol because it has worked reasonably well for those families who have used it. Deputies should acknowledge the work done by the staff of my Department in the homelessness unit and of voluntary organisations like Threshold. The protocol is working well and is being extended around the country as we speak.
