Mr. Brown has answered my question. We are looking at the issue from the other side of the fence. Our concern is with the perception that a bank could improve its capital ratio requirement by effectively moving on people in arrears who have positive equity in the property, as they may be more vulnerable than people in negative equity. This is a worry.
