I also want to talk about the threshold to qualify for local authority housing. That needs to be changed, and I know the Minister is working on it. The tenant purchase scheme was never brought in - it has never been used. It was announced approximately two years ago and no one is able to use it.

The following is something about which I have a real bugbear. Do our guests feel that the general data protection regulation, GDPR, is sometimes used as a tool against obtaining information? We all welcome people's privacy and know that we have to be respectful but when one goes looking for certain information, one is told that it is not available under GDPR. It is a tool. Do we need to look at a local authority strategy to tackle that?

I again thank our guests. I have a lot more to ask but that is it for now.
