Okay. As regards voluntary surrender, 545 people in family homes have given up their houses as a result of the bank requesting them to do so. As I said yesterday, many of them do so through fear that the bank will bring them before a judge and jury to have their houses repossessed.
Mr. Mason has told us that he is not writing off any of the residual debt. What steps, if any, has the bank taken to ensure that families who are forced to leave their family home have suitable accommodation to move into?
