Mr. Tom Dunne:

That is a very good question. Clearly, one of the reasons that a tenant can be asked to leave the accommodation is if the accommodation is in need of refurbishment. If we give incentives to people who own property to bring the standards of insulation etc. up, clearly a number of landlords may choose to undertake that work. In order to undertake it, they may need to get the tenant out of the property. That is one of the issues that might arise because of that.
