Minister for Social Protection

The person concerned was sent a letter on the 04/05/16 requesting details of the terms and conditions of his tenancy and proof of rent paid at his address in writing from his landlord. To date this information has not been supplied.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
