Our guests have taken note of those comments. Just before we finish I want to go back to something I spoke about earlier regarding the notice to quit and the invitation to bid. There is a set procedure for that, we know what it is and everyone has to comply with it. In regulations attaching to this Bill there should be a standardised process for the proof of offer. There should be a proof offer form that the landlord and tenant both sign, a duplicate form. We should make this as simple as possible. It is a very stressful time when somebody gets a notice to quit and then has to go into a mortgage application or purchase arrangement.
