Ms Dara Deering:

That is a very good question and we are very interested in it. We have worked with the mortgage-to-rent scheme since the very beginning. We welcome the reform to the scheme where more people will be eligible under the rules, whether that happens on an individual basis which we continue to work on, or with third parties with which we are in active discussions. Those third parties are looking at fast-tracking options for customers to move to mortage-to-rent and we see that as a very good solution for the cohort of customers that qualifies under the rules of the scheme. We will continue to work on an individual basis and we are in active discussions with the various third parties about whether that can be accelerated.
