If there were a compulsory sales order, such that local authorities did not have to purchase derelict property at all and all the risk were removed, basically forcing the owners to put the property on the open market, they would not dispose of the property because they would not have purchased it in the first place. Has that potential? Is it a matter on which the witnesses do not have a definitive view?
