I understand an announcement will be made next week as regards the mortgage crisis and that new measures will be announced. I look forward to that. The purpose of this question is to have a debate on the nature of the changes that we need in dealing with the mortgage crisis. For me, the single key issue is to ensure that the final word in the restructuring of a mortgage is by somebody who is objectively independent. That must be the fundamental change that is required in terms of dealing with mortgages in distress. I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say.
