A question I asked was slightly but not completely answered by Mr. Lawlor. There is the question of incentive relating to HAP, which I do not think we would disagree on. To return to the question on landlords, the problem is not in selling the property. However, if an occupied property is sold, it should be legally certain that the tenancy continues at least until the end of the lease.

Would the witnesses agree with that? It is a critical point.
