There are various protections for tenants in the first instance. I am not involved in every case but I would appeal to the landlords in question to do everything they can to protect those tenants and not evict them in light of the circumstances we are in and the significant difficulties in securing alternative accommodation. I do not have the full details of the case or the circumstances involved. Again, in respect of tenants, a lot of protections and legislation have been implemented by this House to do everything we can to protect tenants in circumstances such as these.
