I thank the Minister for his considered response. Like everyone else, I want to ensure that tenants have good quality accommodation. When I went to London as a young man of 15 and a half years of age, I recall having to share a single room with four other men whom I did not even know. That was the name of the game in those days. I remember the landlady charging us 10 shillings a week for milk. I also remember that if one put a steak on a pan, by the time one came down to the kitchen again somebody would have eaten it, so do not talk to me about the quality of accommodation.
