Thank you. I'm going to use the phrase 'holiday home ownership', which I think covers a range from two categories: the 'second home' the Minister referred to, perhaps only used for a few weeks—or perhaps, at most, months—a year, compared to a property that is let out to a wide range of holidaymakers, more as a commercial proposition. I just wonder, as housing Minister, do you consider there is a difference in terms of impact on housing provision elsewhere of those two different models, and do you see one as more attractive than the other, or one we would want to incentivise or not? If so, will you seek to ensure joined-up policy making by Welsh Government by having appropriate discussions with ministerial colleagues?
