Housing Corporation (Delegation) etc. Bill

I apologise, Mr. Deputy Speaker, but as you can see I am passionate about this, and I know that other hon. Members who support our armed forces feel the same. I shall have to leave out the homeless ex-servicemen in my constituency, but homelessness is a big and glaring injustice. We must make sure that there is certainty and clarity now as a result of passing what seems to be a fairly minor retrospective amendment to the housing legislation. It should have been in place in the first place. If it allows housing associations and the Housing Corporation to get on with the job that they are supposed to do, it will have my support.
