I thank Ms Mangan for her presentation. There are many bells ringing in my head but I will try to dwindle them down to one. I have had a bee in my bonnet for a long time about moneylenders, particularly in the constituency I represent where many people depend on small loans. A report was done on that previously which indicated that the south-west inner city area had the highest number of people with loans from both established and criminal moneylenders. The report was shocking at the time.

I wish Ms Mangan well in her job. I have to be honest and say that if someone as qualified as her is given a job like this, there is hope for us all.

When I got married at first we did not have a house.
