Mr. Joyce mentioned that at the end of 2016 there were almost 6,000 buy-to-lets in the hands of receivers. They had gone beyond being in difficulty, the banks had taken action and appointed receivers. He mentioned that the future occupation by tenants of these dwellings is insecure. My sense, from dealing with constituents, is not that it is insecure but that in virtually all the cases we see the tenants are served notice to quit and the properties are vacant and sold that way. Is that what Mr. Joyce finds?
