rents</h2>\n<p>27 February 2024 — stating that too few dwellings were built to keep pace with population growth</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Et sinn an de leschte Joren einfach net genuch Wunnenge gebaut ginn, fir mam Bevëlkerungswachstum an och mat der Entwécklung vun de Menagen hei am Land Schrëtt ze halen.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>In recent years simply not enough dwellings have been built to keep pace with population growth and with the development of households in this country.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-02-27-n012\" class=\"wikiLink\"

richteg, datt een dat Gesetz, wat awer elo schonn 30 Joer huet, eng Kéier op de Leescht hëlt.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>It is right that this law, which is now already 30 years old, should be looked at again.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2024-12-11-n052\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2024-12-11-n052\">Sitting of 11 December 2024</a></p>\n<p>17 March 2026 — citing a

whether the tax advantages for private pension saving are enough</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Mir mussen iwwerleeën, ob déi aktuell Steiervirdeeler nach attraktiv genuch sinn oder ob et zousätzlech Ureizer brauch.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>We have to consider whether the current tax advantages are still attractive enough or whether additional incentives are needed.</em></p>\n<p><a

the existing rent subsidy</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>An dowéinst schwätze mer eis géint dee Crédit d’impôt aus an derfir, op deem Wee ze bleiwen, wou mer elo sinn, déi geziilte sozial Mesür, mee ze kucken, datt se effektiv do ukënnt, wou se wierklech gebraucht gëtt.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p><em>And therefore we come out against that tax credit and in favour of staying on the path we are on now, the targeted social measure, but making sure that it actually arrives where it is really needed.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-11-19-n108\" class=\"wikiLink\"

behind.</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"/lhoft?page=seances%2F2025-05-15-n084\" class=\"wikiLink\" data-target=\"seances/2025-05-15-n084\">Sitting of 15 May 2025</a></p>\n<p>30 October 2025 — stating that the
