Given the understanding of that legislation and the understanding in that phraseology as used in the past, it refers to the Minister as a holder of the official role of a Minister. This is the same language that was used in the Affordable Housing Act 2021. The language used here is consistent with previous legislation. In previous legislation at other points, in the event that a tenant was in a tenancy agreement with a landlord who was also a Minister, that tenant was still able to access the rent credit.
