Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lennie (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 March 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill.

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his detailed response to the contributions and questions raised. It is good to know that only 2,500 cases remain. He is quite right that the longer we talk, the fewer cases will be left. I am not entirely convinced that this is proof that the market-based approach is working. It is something else, probably about the voluntarily nature of agreements entered into by people under the threat of the arbitration process. Nevertheless, it is a positive sign.

As for the statutory guidance, we welcome being informed of updates, but our preference would probably have been to have it approved, although that is neither here nor there. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
