I note the points the Minister makes about the minimum period. All of us would have concerns about this issue. One cannot represent people in respect of housing matters without quickly coming across the scourge of anti-social behaviour. The Minister mentioned the Supreme Court view on section 62, which as it turned out was a very important decision at the time. I still believe that, in justice, a longer minimum period would be better and for that reason I am pushing the amendment.
