One of the reasons we asked for this hearing was the excellent work the redress focus groups have done, and I really appreciate the fact that all the groups before us are interacting with them on this. The scheme does not work for so many people, but today we are not really going into that level of detail. We are talking about the existing scheme and the fact that some people are trying to demolish and rebuild and the obstacles they face, so I will just focus on that part of it. The big question is whether the house can be sold after remediation.

I will go to Mr. Hayes of the BPFI. If I look at the statement the federation released and then a clarification statement and then read from what Mr. Owens has put on the record here and the statements that have been produced, I really would not know, and I am used to reading statements. Again, putting themselves in the shoes of somebody who has an outer leaf replacement done on his or her house, what Mr. Owens will tell us is that the engineers will certify the work, which is the outer leaf and only the outer leaf. Is that not correct?
