Yes, but I am sure the witnesses understand the point I am making. In terms of practical issues, I am interested in transfers. We are talking now about people rather than houses, bricks and mortar. If there are issues with tenants of approved housing bodies and those tenants need a transfer, how easy is that to accomplish? Transfers are probably relatively easy for the larger housing bodies or for local authorities, although the latter do not like transferring tenants. Can approved housing bodies transfer tenants back to local authorities, for example? I ask the witnesses to outline the process involved in transfers between housing bodies and other bodies like local authorities, if that happens.
