Let us look at the analogy. We will take a family who, as a result of both partners losing their jobs, have paid nothing or a small amount for two and a half years. They then make the full repayment for the next two and a half years or longer over a ten year period. In the statistics suggested by Mr. Burgess, this family's home should be repossessed at a point where they may be making their full mortgage repayments and may have been paying a proportion of their mortgage for a period.
