Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

People will be aware that, at the time, hotels closed down around the country, so there was a mutual fit in bringing them together instead of the regular approach of dispersal accommodation. To that end, it was an unusual time. There is no doubt that it has lingered. There was a backlog in determinations and therefore more people in the system. Getting back after Covid has taken quite a considerable amount of time.
