Good. I see that Rhianon's got her hand up. I don't know if she wants to come in now.

And a question I've asked other witnesses, and you've answered it already, that you're broadly in favour of—well, you're very in favour of—this legislation coming into force. Would the positive outcome of this legislation, or more the way that we legislate…

Just a quick follow-on from that: have you ever had to respond to any tribunals and make any changes?

You're not saying 'wide view' for Peter? Now, come on, that's not very nice, is it? [Laughter.] Peter, over to you. We've got you on camera. Sorry.

Okay, thank you very much. I've got Peter coming in next, but I don't know if we're able to get Peter on camera. I think something's just happened, so—. I would want to see Peter, so I don't know—

And what sort of engagement did you have with the Welsh Government around the lead-in time into it? Did you only have that date to make it happen, or were you having conversations slightly before that? Did the changes catch—

Okay, thank you very much. Obviously, in July 2020, the Welsh Government announced immediate changes to the land transaction tax rates and thresholds in response to the UK Government's changes to stamp duty land tax during the COVID-19 pandemic. What actions…

I think Rhianon has a comment on this, and then we'll go into Rhianon's questions as well. I'll pass over to Rhianon.

Either of the other two witnesses with a view, a contrary view? I don't think you have—not from the smiles on your faces, anyway. But do either of you have anything to add to that?
