The point I am raising is that the date we have down for landlords is 31 December 2015. The Finance Bill next year will be in November again, so the Minister could be extending the scheme.

If I am thinking of doing an extension to my house and have not got it started early enough next year, I will freeze. I will not get the benefit because I will know it will not be all done before the end of the year, and the period between the Finance Bill and the end date is short. I am suggesting that it might be worth looking at an extension date of at least three months, which would allow one to look at it and budget-----
