I appreciate what you're saying and I think there's some merit in having a discussion about how to take that forward. The one other category of accommodation that we haven't yet introduced into this debate, of course, is holiday caravan accommodation. I live in an area where holiday caravan tourism is a very important part of the economy. One of the problems and challenges we have there is that, with extended seasons, many people are using those holiday caravans as their main residences, and that also is then giving rise to costs and burdens on local authorities, for which they are not recompensed.
