I propose to take Questions Nos. 1088 and 1108 together.

Information is not available in my Department on the accumulated arrears from rental contributions under the Rental Accommodation Scheme to September 2012 or on the number of households in the scheme that are in arrears. The latest available information is in respect of the arrears arising in 2011 which is collected as part of the annual financial statement on RAS from each authority. This information is set out in the following table.
