Weeks could be too long. What I am trying to get at is that we need a streamlined process. Those of all parties and none agree that we need to move quickly in this space. The local authorities have a large role to play in streamlining and the Department has a role to play in enabling them to do so. The arrangement should be loosened in order that the sales can be completed outside the cost guidelines. I am confident that the local authority sector will attain market value for the units. The Department should allow full autonomy in that respect. I would like the Department to take that on board.
