I thank the Minister of State for his response. It is great that the Government supports and is committed to data and to the evidence-based policymaking that we can engage in thanks to data, but given that this amendment would not create a land price register and would only create a situation in which there would be a report on the matter, why not commit to that now? The Minister of State made the point that this provision did not need to be in the legislation because the Minister could ask for such a report anyway. I have been raising this matter for quite some time with the Government. Is the Minister of State giving a commitment that, after the Bill's enactment, the Minister will seek a report on a land price register?
