Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2019: Committee Stage

These are important amendments. Again, this is a matter of due process. The investigations and reports, interim and final, are really important parts of the Bill and I fully support them. However, copies should be made available to the approved housing bodies or the individuals in those bodies, as appropriate. I have a concern about the publication of an interim report, particularly in the absence of it being provided to the organisation.
These are very significant powers. They are welcome and robust but due process has to be afforded to those on the other side of the investigations and the report. I am interested in hearing the Minister's response and how he intends to proceed.
