Mr. Paul Kelly:

I might just add, to ensure the record is correct, that as part of the proposed legislation, there will be a six-month clarification period. People will not need planning permission to register. I acknowledge we are still in the legislative process, but should the legislation come in as proposed, people will be able to register without any planning requirement. That will give both property owners and local authorities time to sort out their position with regard to planning permission. I do not want people thinking they will not be able to register initially without planning permission, although much will depend on what shape the legislation takes. It was an important proposal of ours that we would allow time to resolve that issue and allow people to continue to do business while the issue was being resolved. The committee has rightly identified the importance of the planning guidelines for issues such as the length of time people have been in the tourism industry and whether they are rural or urban and so on. A lot of that will, I hope, be clarified through planning guidelines.
