Can I welcome your statement, particularly the promise to bring forward more details on how rough-sleepers are going to be helped? They must be the most vulnerable group in society and this adds great fear and misery, potentially, to their situation and it's right that we ensure the highest resource we can make available is made available for that group of people.
I only have one question—you have faced so many questions in this statement, because it is such an important area. Many people who are just on the edge of rough-sleeping sell The Big Issue, and their sales will likely drop considerably. I just wonder if there are any possibilities, either through direct Welsh Government aid or urging the UK Government to look at how that income stream could be supported, because we could end up with more people on the street, certainly vulnerable people, anyway, in a much more fragile situation in the next three or four months when they just don't have that income.
