I must agree in the sense that while one might say that these people have been in houses for two years, they are not in secure tenancies. In fairness, they should be described as being homeless. We have been producing monthly figures for two years and it has taken two years to discover this anomaly in the system, which is unacceptable. Is the Minister trying to play games with the homeless figures and create uncertainty and doubt? What other directions is he taking regarding the presentation of homeless figures? I have heard that we might be moving to quarterly reports instead of the monthly reports we have at the moment. When will these changes take place?
