I am advised by my officials that contracts for commercial accommodation providers are currently being reviewed and that no decision has yet been made on the application referred to by the Deputy.

I am advised by my officials that this provider’s payment is in hand and will issue shortly.

I very much regret any delays experienced by providers in securing payment, which is due to the extraordinary volume of invoices being processed in the context of the number of Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection being accommodated. I have assigned additional resources to clear the backlog.
