I am pleased to accommodate the Chair. Now that the Government speakers have arrived in force and Ministers have poured into the House from all angles as they rush to the rescue of unfortunate tenants whom they have smitten hip and thigh for the past five years, I ask that the Government set out its excuses for what it has done to tenants in recent years.
