It is important to raise such an issue in this House. Even when the arrears were cleared for the aforementioned struggling young couple by family members, it took five days before their supply was reinstated. This is not acceptable in this day and age and the Minister should discuss the behaviour of energy suppliers with Members in this Chamber.

I ask that the Leader might arrange for the Minister for Justice and Equality to provide an update to Members on the progress being made on the drafting of the proposed landlord and tenant business leases review Bill, which is due to be introduced to the House fairly shortly. There is concern among the business community that this may not be making the progress that was expected. Many jobs are at stake and all Members have been contacted recently by several businesses with grave concerns regarding any potential delay in the introduction of this badly-needed legislation.
