Mr. Stephen Groarke:
I will comment on the process for the mortgage redress scheme. We have tried to put in place a framework whereby customers have as much optionality as possible. We put in place a customer appeals panel and an independent review panel. They can be used depending on the circumstances. The panels are independent of the bank. Customers have an option to use those panels to have their compensation and circumstances reviewed. If they are still not satisfied, they have the option to go to the Financial Services Ombudsman. At that point, if they wish, they can also bring through legal action.
