I should also like to thank the Minister of State for introducing this Bill. My party is very positive about it and we believe it has great potential as regards benefiting not just current tenants, but people on waiting lists as well as the homeless. On the whole, we welcome the Bill. We are pleased the Minister of State has accepted a number of our amendments. We would have liked to him to accept more, but we are pleased with those he has accepted. That is very gracious of the Minister of State, and I should like to pay tribute both to him and his staff for the work they have put into producing this very complex and detailed Bill.
