The Committee considered a request to write-off sundry debt of £50,695 which related to irrecoverable debt relating to Bed and Breakfast temporary accommodation cases and one emergency accommodation case. The amounts required writing off as there was no forwarding address, and all other avenues of recovery had been exhausted.
