That is very good. We are all well aware of the number of people who are looking for housing. There is growth in our population, and the demand is there for housing. It is a fantastic to see that achievement over that short period. A lot of commercial buildings are probably laying idle in villages and towns as well. It is great to see them come back into use. Why put an end to the commercial residential exemption? Why not just allow it to exist forever? Why is the Minister of State putting a deadline on it?
