The previous Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government promised that all families in emergency hotel and bed and breakfast accommodation would not be in that accommodation by 1 July. He promised it last year and to the Home Sweet Home delegation which met him. It is only nine days to 1 July. I want to know what is happening there. I put in two Topical Issues yesterday and today but they were not taken. What is this Government doing about those families? There were 592 families in hotels and bed and breakfasts at the end of April. What is happening there? Is the Government going to fail these families on this?
