Absolutely, and it's about providing the support and bespoke solutions, so, if any Members in this Chamber have examples in your constituencies or locally, then please do get in touch and feed those in to make sure we can use that expertise and build on it.

So far I've outlined what it is we're going to do to support our partners, but, to be clear, this support is not about us taking a back seat, but actually taking a firm stand. The Government's message to owners of empty properties is: work with us and we will work with you and help resource you as is appropriate to bring your empty property back into use, but, if you do not engage with us and think you can carry on regardless, you'll be sadly mistaken, and we will take whatever action is needed.

We will give the local authorities as much support as necessary to take as much enforcement action as is necessary, and the result will be the same, but it's the empty property owners' choice on how they wish to get there.
