I move amendment No. 10:

In page 5, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following: ‘‘Amendment of section 19 of Act of 2004

5.Section 19 of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of the following subsection for subsection (4):

‘‘(4) Subject to subsection (5), in setting, at any particular time, the rent under a tenancy of a dwelling in a rent pressure zone, an amount of rent shall not be provided for that is greater than 4 per cent of the rent currently being paid by a sitting tenant or 4 per cent of the rent paid by the last tenant registered at the property.”.’’.

Given that we have limited time and I wish to expedite matters, with the agreement of the Acting Chairman and the Minister, I will speak to amendments Nos. 10, 12 and 13. They are the next amendments and we may be able to get through all of them if we discuss them now.
