That has a big policy consequence as well. In essence, the Deputy is accepting my assumption that if we were to introduce such a tax measure, it would reduce the ability to make land available for additional homes.

We can get the balance right in terms of encouraging the supply of more land in the future for the zoning of more land on which to build homes without needing to rely on the Deputy’s proposal.
