On the "specified landlord", one of these means a "Minister of the Government". Obviously, I can understand the rationale behind this because it could be extrapolated as a supported tenancy, for example the Defence Forces. That would also rule out a Minister of the Government. Some of the Minister's colleagues in government are landlords. Under this definition, where they now fall, their tenants would be excluded from the rent credit. Would they not?
