Okay. Has the Department done any analysis of what effect that may be having on house prices since the introduction of the scheme? There is evidence from England that shows that when a similar scheme was brought in, house prices increased significantly. Anecdotally and looking around at auctioneers' windows since that scheme came in, particularly for new developments, house prices have gone up. Yes or No. Was analysis done?
