Thank you for giving way. As well as the scrutiny process for the Bill, the Public Accounts Committee has held a long inquiry into housing associations in Wales. On this point, we found that in exchange for the extra freedom that they were getting through this measure comes a responsibility on the housing associations themselves to proactively encourage scrutiny from their tenants. So, can she assure us that, as the statutory guidelines are developed, that that onus is put on housing associations to raise the bar?
