I thank the Minister for his answer, although I am surprised that he has not had time to see that important research. There are varying opinions on the impact of the Minister's move. I sincerely hope that he is right; I fear, however, that he will be proven wrong. He has now committed to working with the housing associations; he did not consult with them prior to the decision. What assurances can he give to the 40,000 households on the waiting list that the changes will not impact on them negatively?
