Housing and Regeneration Bill

My Lords, I am neither saddened nor maddened; it would be impossible to go on if one were saddened or maddened by almost every point in this process, but I log it. I come back to my concern about what reads as the direct provision of not just services, but more. The clause states that the HCA ““may””—when the Government say ““may””, we are intended to understand it as ““will””—““provide employment””. It will employ people, but I am sure that that is not what is intended. Of course I accept that employment is central to regeneration but I find it very hard to understand what the HCA will do that equates to ““providing employment””. That is an extreme demand on it.
