That is fine. With regard to amendment No. 98, I have a real concern that the section that I seek to remove could be used by developers to hoard land and not to develop it until property prices are at a higher level. What they could do is have live planning permissions and deliberately not develop them even though they have the resources to do so, clearly knowing that they have a fast track to the subsequent extension. It is an amendment that I will be pressing.
