Tabling amendments, if necessary, is something members can adjudicate on when the Bill is published. This proposal should not be a watered down version of what existed previously and people should be given a forum in which to voice their opinions and aspirations. I am particularly conscious of the matter raised by the Acting Chairman, in that those who remain in the area after being housed there should not be penalised by clawback in the absence of suitable accommodation.
