We welcome the announcement about eradicating homelessness. I think one of the positives that could come from this crisis is the realisation that housing is a right for life and not just an emergency stop during a pandemic. I would also really welcome the constructive way that you've worked, Minister, across parties in approaching this crisis. The crisis has also shown that homelessness has been a political choice, not an inevitability. No more can anyone be criticised for saying that 10-year plans to end homelessness are an insulting ambition.

Now some may balk at the sums of money that we're talking about, but I'd say to them, and I'm sure you'd agree with me on this, Minister, that this investment will lead to considerable savings for our public services—you referred to that in your statement—and not to mention a better life for countless people in the future. I would ask, Minister, if you wish you had perhaps allocated the sums to ending homelessness a lot sooner.

But, looking to the future, it seems that the private rented sector is likely to see an increase in demand, where Rightmove is saying that the demand for lettings is up 22 per cent. Now, that is presumably largely in England, where the restrictions are not as severe, but this may, of course, result in the temptation for landlords to evict current occupants or persuade them to leave so that they could put the rent up for other tenants. So, could you confirm, Minister, whether you'll be extending the no-eviction period of taking no further action, to prevent this further after we have continued to focus on prevention of homelessness? I appreciate what you've just said to David Melding, but I just wonder if you could confirm how long you hope that support will be in place and, indeed, that that will be something that won't be time limited.
