I agree with the noble Baroness that the growth of build to rent is very important for the future of the private rented sector. It boosts housing supply and increases choice for renters in cities and towns across England. The noble Lord, Lord Carrington—who is not in his place—has raised this issue with me as well. We are working with the build-to-rent sector to increase supply through more appropriate and, I would suggest, fairer routes than those outlined in this amendment. While we understand the laudable aim of the amendment, I would, with respect, ask the noble Baroness to withdraw it.
