This is a very important debate and I regret that the time is very short. It is not acceptable that some speakers have only six minutes and others three. This House must change, as our policies must change.

I welcome the new Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government and his initiatives. I hope he will be able to support the views I express.

We must be practical. It is all very well having a national strike but that brings no sympathy or support to the people who want to get into-----
