Following on from some of the previous comments, I wish to briefly ask the Minister a question. We are talking specifically about vacant properties here. We are not talking about second-hand homes in general. Local authorities have a list of vacant properties right across this country. Surely a mechanism can be found so that when vacant properties are being redeveloped they would eligible under this scheme. I accept that it makes no sense to do it across the board, but surely in this confined set of circumstances it makes immense sense to try to incentivise it.
