I thank all the witnesses and organisations before us. We have heard very loud and clear the strong critique they have made of the Bill and the very serious points they have made about people being denied access to essential supports which they will then get if they are able to initiate legal action. That is, of course, a huge barrier for people to surmount. The general scheme, as it stands, will result in more people being made homeless and rough sleeping. What critical changes need to be made to the Bill?
