The noble Baronesses, Lady Scott and Lady Eaton, referred to evaluation. Of course it is right that we evaluate our reforms effectively and appropriately. Our approach will build on the department’s existing long-term housing sector monitoring work. We will conduct our process, impact and value for money evaluation in line with the department’s published evaluation strategy. Our evaluation findings will be published in a timely manner, consistent with our policy for publication of research, and will include analysis of the Bill’s impact on the housing market in England. We will use a range of data to support our monitoring and evaluation work, including established datasets, such as the English Housing Survey, and data generated from the reforms themselves and from trusted stakeholders, including local councils.
