The review relates to the first 12 months of the 2016 scheme. Tenant purchase schemes have been in operation since the 1970s. The commitment was to review the first 12 months. Many issues have been raised and we will bring forward the suggested changes and recommendations as part of an overall package. It is not to be addressed on its own and many issues have fed into the scheme and the review. I reiterate that the scheme is open. Yesterday, I met a family that are currently involved in purchasing their house. The scheme is open, successful and very favourable, for most people. I ask the Deputies to bear that in mind as we continue the debate.
