I have two brief queries on legislation. We have legislation - I gather it is through the Oireachtas - to facilitate the introduction of a tenant purchase scheme. When is its introduction contemplated?

The second query relates to the Competition and Consumer Protection Bill which is before the House and the issue of below-cost selling of fruit and vegetables and perishables, including milk products, etc. There is no provision in the legislation to deal or cater for this matter. Primary producers are very unhappy.

The Deputy has sat in this chair. He knows what is and is not allowed.

I would appreciate it if the Taoiseach could advise me on whether it is intended to introduce amendments to provide for the banning of this practice.

I will discuss the matter with the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine for the Deputy. The Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill is one of several housing Bills being considered by the Minister of State with responsibility for housing. Consideration is being given to a tenant purchase scheme.
