To be fair, Threshold's statement on the recent changes the Government announced for the rental sector is a balanced assessment. Threshold did not welcome every aspect of that announcement but it did welcome many aspects of it, which is good. My time is tight so I must move on.

IPAV did not give a positive assessment of the recent changes to the rental sector. Its opening statement is quite critical of the Government on management of the rental sector from a number of perspectives. In terms of the changes to the rent pressure zones, RPZs, and so on, does IPAV expect them to do anything to improve investment in the private market and private rental sector?
