I move amendment No. 40:

In page 38, to delete lines 3 to 7.

We debated this issue on Committee Stage. While we accept issues arise in respect of management fees for apartments and that the inclusion of apartments in the incremental purchase scheme would give rise to difficulties, we do not accept those difficulties cannot be overcome. We received promises from various Ministers in recent years to the effect that the issue associated with the operation of management companies would be sorted out, but that still has not been done. I hate to see flats excluded from the scheme. If the Minister of State will not accept this amendment, will he commit to reconsider our proposal when the legislation on management companies passes through the House?
