The Bill is a very slight measure. I have listened to claims that it is a very important Bill, but is very slight. It does not change or amend the law; it merely makes certain clarifications. The issue it purports to address is a real one - that is, the right of all citizens to peaceful enjoyment of their homes - but the perception difficulty to which this Bill will give rise is worrying, and this will be the main focus of our attention on Committee Stage.
