I take the Deputy's point; she read it out to me. What I have written here is, "food, clothing or shelter in the aftermath of a fire or flood or other emergency event." I take her point and I will raise it with the officials. The CWOs have discretion.

If the Deputy wants to give me the specific details of the case of that lady who did not get that payment, I am happy to take them. I will raise the issue myself because I do not know the circumstances or particular details of that case. The Deputy can give the details to me, however, and I will be happy to follow it up for her.
