My Department has not incurred any costs on the renting, leasing or purchasing of de-mountable, temporary accommodation over the period in question. However, we are aware that some local authorities provide individual de-mountable dwellings in particular cases. Procurement in such cases is a matter for the local authority in accordance with public procurement guidelines.
