If the Minister of State is concerned about having the input of local authorities on the setting of rents it could be done at a national level. We could have inputs from all local authorities on a national differential rent scheme. The end result would be a national scheme where there would be input from all stakeholders, including anti-poverty groups, housing NGOs and so on as to what rents would be fair and reasonable to charge people in a harmonised national differential rent scheme.
