While I appreciate the Government’s recognition of the risks of duplication and their commitment to addressing them during implementation, we remain of the view that greater clarity is essential to ensure that the redress scheme works smoothly and fairly for all. The key issue is triage—how the different schemes will work together—and we very much look forward to the Minister bringing forward proposals and guidance that we can all see and can be clear to both landlords and tenants on how they will go through the system. I think we are all in agreement that we want it to work and we have a real concern about duplication. So, although I will not press this amendment, we will continue to hold the Government to account on this issue as the Bill becomes law. With that, I beg to withdraw this amendment.
