Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. He is right that the cost and burden is not static and will move over time. When I tabled the question for written answer, £115·5 million of debt was outstanding, and nearly 44 properties were in arrears. The Minister has talked about the burden and about paying a fair share, but it is clear that some people are not paying their fair share. What more can he do to decrease the debt and get the money into the Government's coffers?
