In closing, I thank the Minister for the opportunity that she provided to discuss this amendment with her and her team. However, having discussed this in detail with tenant groups, I do not share what I think is her view, based on her own very successful local authority experience, that this is not a significant problem and that the current system is effective. Tenant group representations suggest the acute need for this amendment, and I hope that the Minister will reconsider and accept this amendment or perhaps bring forward a suitable government amendment in its place. If she would find it helpful before Report, would she perhaps meet these groups—we have already secured a meeting, I believe, during the contribution of the noble Baroness, Lady Kennedy—to clarify this specific amendment? I beg to move.
