Housing and Regeneration Bill

The hon. Gentleman raises an important point. I have had questions and discussions with officials on the matter, and all the indicators show that the number of people affected by the current incompatibility is extremely small. I cannot quantify that, and I understand his concerns, but I shall liaise, as he suggests, with the Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, my hon. Friend the Member for Gloucester (Mr. Dhanda), who has responsibility for community cohesion, to ensure a coherent strategy. I detect warm acceptance of the amendments, and I hope that the House will approve them. Lords amendment agreed to. Lords amendments Nos. 170 to 205 agreed to [one with Special Entry].
