Next, I draw your Lordships’ attention to Amendment 228B, tabled in my name. This amendment would require the Secretary of State to make regulations about the circumstances in which an active landlord or dwelling entry in the database becomes an inactive entry. Similarly to Amendment 228A, this amendment is vital, because it provides a clear legal duty on the Secretary of State to establish a mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the database. Ensuring that entries are deactivated when appropriate is vital.
