We will support this Bill. The point that has come up for discussion is the question of whether one reverses and goes back from 10% to 20% or whether one goes beyond that, which this Bill proposes. We need to go beyond it. We had 20% when there was no housing crisis. We now have the greatest housing crisis in the history of the State. The figure should not be below 25%.
