Mr. Graham Doyle:
A lot of thought and analysis has gone into how it can be dealt with in future. In many cases even when a unit becomes unencumbered it is still owned by an approved housing body with a particular purpose that is also a charity. The idea these units can go off into the private sector is not as concerning as the impression that may have been given previously.
