I thank Deputy Matthews for raising this issue. As the Deputy will be aware, the recent Housing for All document commits to the establishment, consistent with the programme for Government, of a commission on housing. It is intended that the terms of reference of the commission will include consideration of the referendum on housing and it will have the opportunity to hear from a range of stakeholders as to what they believe the referendum should focus on. This is a programme for Government commitment and I look forward to seeing the commission examine this issue and make a recommendation to Government.
