Yes, there is a straight answer. Today, the Cabinet approved the putting together of that legislation, which will be done as a priority. There is a series of measures, one of which is a fast-track planning process for large developments. There are also facilities around renewal of planning permissions in a fast-tracked manner. There are provisions around statutory time limits on Part 8 decisions made by local authorities on social housing. There are a number of other provisions on protecting tenancies when property is sold between institutional investors. All that detail will be debated in the normal way when the legislation is brought forward for Second Stage in a few weeks' time.
