Does the Member agree that included in that is the fact that, in instances of families being put out of their homes, such as those that we see regularly due to security alerts or electrical outages, leisure centres and community facilities are opened up to vulnerable families, but the furthest we could go here was to confirm that that was not where those families were: "Those vulnerable people who have been put out of their homes are not in this leisure facility"? They should have been there. It should have been opened up to them.
