I thank the Deputies for their contributions. We share a common interest in changing the market here and this is why we are raising the stamp duty. There were already significant reductions in the instances of bulk buying of apartments on the market and this will further reduce that. Any ones that are going are probably an example of legacy developments. This motion will, I believe, have the support of this House because it looks to put the power back in the hands of small-time or individual buyers. I ask the House to support it for that reason.
