We have only just seen the new amendment. Given the scale of the error in the original amendment, I suggest we need to revert to Committee Stage immediately to discuss this amendment to ascertain whether it actually does what we are being told it does. I am reading it now and I am still finding it difficult to see the difference between the new amendment and the original amendment. I am making a formal proposal on the basis of the scale of this issue. If we had not spotted this issue and raised it on the floor of the House this evening, those who will be facing a 4% rent increase in January would have been facing an 8% increase. It is not a question of our interpretation of this. This is a mathematical calculation that would have provided for an 8% rent increase next year.
