I have sat here for the whole of this debate today. There are many aspects of this Bill that I would like to change and that I would do differently. We have to consider the serious matter we are trying to address. We are in the midst of a housing crisis and some of the issues being discussed are hair-splitting. We come in here every morning for Commencement Debates and listen to people whinging and crying about housing and homelessness but if we want to address this, why not give it a push? I know there are serious concerns, which I and everyone else here have talked about, but some of the stuff that is being repeated and rehashed here is not productive.
