I would be perfectly happy to contact the Minister to see whether the Deputies' access can be facilitated. I have had the privilege of visiting the different houses. As Moore Street is where I always did my shopping as a child, I remember the houses. From what I witnessed during my brief visit, they are in an extraordinarily fragile state. I hope that agreement can be reached with all the parties to undertake really important conservation work on these historic monuments. I had hoped to see that proceeding. I will contact the Minister and ask her to facilitate the Deputies' visit as soon as she can.
