I have some sympathy with the petitioner. We have taken the petition as far as we can go within the remit of the committee. However, as I said, this is something one is required by law to do, yet there is no ceiling to the cost it might incur for the individual. This is a difficulty for many citizens, particularly young people starting out. On top of rental costs and other things, it can be quite a significant cost to people. As I said, it is beyond our remit but we have some empathy and sympathy for the petitioner's situation.
