On the Deputy's first question, we have information showing that it is taking longer to complete a sale, and because we are now making this an offence, if it is to be actionable there has to be a fair timeline for that.

On his second question, let me double check. Where it was six months, it has gone to 12 months in every instance, for the family but also for the completion of works where there has been refurbishment works, and for change of use. In those three instances, the period in which a re-letting must be offered has lengthened from six to 12 months.
