Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I have to use this slot again to raise the lack of emergency accommodation for homeless people and families. Thanks to the Residential Tenancies Board, we know that 4,700 notices to quit have been issued in quarter 1. We can broadly assume that the Government's so-called non-cliff-edge ending to the eviction ban will result in a further deluge of notices to be served on tenants throughout the country. This does not fill the 27,000 adults and children in care who rent with confidence. Where is the additional capacity? The mid-west has the highest number of families who access emergency accommodation and I am yet to get a straight answer as to whether buildings have been identified.
