Beneficiary debt was discussed, and we heard that the Parliamentary Under-Secretary to the Minister of Revenue, Dr Deborah Russell, was leading work to ensure a consistent approach to owed debt and this would be a MSD, Inland Revenue, and Ministry of Justice project. We heard about beneficiary fraud investigations, writing off debt to MSD, and assistance with debt management. Finally, emergency housing and the cost of living in those houses was discussed. We also asked about children in emergency housing and learnt that the average stay was 14.5 weeks.
