Mr. Pat Montague:

That is something we have suggested in informal discussions with some of the stakeholders involved. They cannot formally discuss this because a transfer of responsibility has not been executed. We have made that point. It seems blindingly obvious.

Already, 214 owners' management companies, at the last count, have applied to the interim remediation scheme. It seems to me that they should, as a matter of course, have annual reports and annual financial returns and all the details of their directors. They should be registered as well. In a sense, that is an easy way to begin to do that. At present, my understanding of how that works is that every month when the Companies Registration Office publishes its new list of company registrations, people in the Housing Agency are literally sifting through that list to identify which of them are management companies. It is not immediately obvious. Then they write to the companies and the level of return to sender post from those companies is extraordinarily high. That means that even the addresses given for the companies are not correct.
