We are in a housing crisis at the minute. There is a huge amount of vacancy. Even the census report we have received to date is delivering data on it. We need to move on these types of houses, which are desperately required by local authorities to be put back into use. Certainly, there should be provision for this in the Bill to move swiftly. Every local authority should look to have these types of properties remediated and put back into use.
