I ask Ms Howard to read the latest report which gives voice to the children who find themselves in emergency accommodation and to consider the bank's policy of selling properties and asking the tenants to leave or evicting them as part of that, particularly in cases where it is evicting people into homelessness and its consequences. I am aware that the bank is not required to have due regard to that, but we are all human. When it hears about the impact on a three or five year old the bank might consider its position of seeking vacant possession or at least asking the follow-up question of whether the tenants will have a home to go to when it evicts them from the premises so it can increase its profits for its shareholders.
