Rather than wait the 12 months for the review, I ask the Minister of State to commence it immediately if possible. I further ask him to consider our proposed Bill this week which would seek to include Part V housing in the criteria, allowing those in Part V units the opportunity to purchase them. There should be no discrepancy, and I hope the Minister of State accepts that. I will put the other issues in writing to him with a view to his seeking to address them in the review, to be ready by January, as he rightly said. If it were published by then, I would be happy with that.
