I turn to the amendments tabled by my noble friend Lady Warwick. Again, I thank her for all the work she has done to promote the work of registered providers. Her amendment would mean that, for relevant low-cost tenancies, tenants may receive limited or no notice of a rent increase, and that their landlords could increase rents more than once a year. I know that most registered providers act in good faith and that social rent levels are regulated by the regulator of social housing via its rent standard, but we cannot agree to remove protections that are already in place for these tenants, as this amendment would do.
