We could have something within the legislation to say that the tenant can transfer to an eligible agency to further engage with the landlord on the right to purchase. I get that the Department does not want to be too prescriptive in its lists, saying a local authority, the Housing Agency or a housing body, HB; an eligible agency could in this case be those three but it could get bigger or smaller. The Housing Agency may not be dealing with cost-rental in future, it may be the local authority, but we do not know that. I would like to see something in there to say a nice clean-cut straightforward way for a tenant to transfer that right to bid within those 90 days to an eligible agency. I thank Ms Comer. Senator Moynihan is next.
