It is not something I am fully aware of, but we still consider it correct to keep it as it is. As the Deputy said, it is still an important provision in the Bill. The short-term tourist letting Bill is on its way as well and that will complement it. We can look it up in terms of the regulations if that is of any use with this. The Deputy makes valuable points about its enforcement. Even if it was good legislation, if it cannot be enforced, that defeats the purpose of its intent. We can look up the wording of the regulations and, as I said, the short-term tourist letting Bill is on its way as well. I do not know whether that offers any assurances to the Deputy on the questions he has raised.
