As part of the Minister's ruminations, will he consider my suggestion to insert before the amendment the words "where there is evidence of hoarding"? That would target the amendment specifically at the people whom we do not want to see given these permissions. Does the Minister see flaws in such an approach? It would allow for a degree of discretion in whether to grant these applications and would exclude the very career capitalists who wait for the maximum profit that can be squeezed.
