I propose to take Question Nos. 166 and 170 together.

I intend to bring proposals to Government shortly on the establishment, and the membership and terms of reference, of an inter-Departmental expert group to be tasked with making recommendations on the design of a property tax. It will then be a matter for the Government to decide on the structure and modalities of the property tax in due course.
