The SI must be judged against that reality, and doing so shows that it is still unclear that the Government have grasped the full scale of the problem. We will not oppose these regulations, but nor can we pretend that they resolve the crisis in front of us. The country needs homes, growth and a regulatory system that is safe, swift and effective. I hope that the Minister will address the concerns I have raised and, more importantly, that the SI marks not the end but the beginning of the serious reform that the system so urgently needs.
