I thank all our guests for coming in this afternoon, particularly to be able to give us a personal account of the impact of what can be simply seen as an academic or an economic discussion. Do I take it from listening to all of them that they all agree the levy will increase the cost of building new developments? Everyone has nodded by the way, just to confirm. Do I also take it the increase in cost will be paid for by the purchaser of a new development? Is that a fair assessment?
