The solution being suggested is a very good and practical one that needs to be looked at. Is it ideal or a substitute for building more housing? Absolutely not, but there are families where there is a lot of overcrowding at present. There are situations in my constituency where three families are in a regular house, all using one bathroom and one toilet. They have space to extend and put in another toilet or bathroom, which would take a massive stress out of the situation, but they just do not have the money or ability to do it and there is nothing they can apply for. If this proposal could just be looked at, it would be very helpful.
