I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to provide for the making of arrangements for securing that one or more tenancy deposit schemes are available for the purpose of safeguarding tenancy deposits paid in connection with tenancies, to provide for payments by the Government to scheme administrators by way of financial assistance or otherwise, to provide that any tenancy deposit paid to a landlord in connection with a tenancy shall be dealt with in accordance with an authorised scheme which scheme shall provide for facilities to be available for enabling disputes relating to tenancy deposits subject to the scheme to be resolved without recourse to courts of law, to provide for the provision of information to tenants and relevant persons in relation to the authorised scheme relating to their tenancy deposit, to provide certain powers to the Circuit Court in the case of non-compliance by a landlord with the requirements imposed on that landlord by this Act, to provide for certain implications in relation to termination of a tenancy in cases where a landlord has not complied with his requirements under this Act, and to provide for related matters.

Is the Bill opposed?

No.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.

I move: "That the Bill be taken in Private Members' time."
