North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson has been criticised by the social care minister for inducing fear among his constituents over social housing reviews.
Chris Robertshaw made the comments as he responded to a question from Mr Henderson in the House of Keys earlier.
Mr Henderson and his North Douglas colleague John Houghton repeatedly asked what would be done with regards to 'evicting' tenants.
Mr Robertshaw was at pains to stress the policy was not about turfing people out of their homes, adding he'd never mentioned evictions.
He said it was about making the public sector housing system fairer:
