I am concerned as well that, where people in very restricted financial situations are desperate to get their homes in some kind of liveable position, that is where the coercion will take place. People who are fortunate enough to be able to afford it may be able to do the full amount, but if there is a link with somebody's financial circumstances, some people may be either blocked out of the scheme altogether or may go for a partial scheme. Are we going to have different tiers with regard to how people are treated within the scheme?
