I will end on this point, if I may. After I spoke last week on this question of eviction, which I regard as an obscenity, I gather that the Secretary General of the Department of Finance appeared to suggest that there were not enough evictions. I cannot think of anything more half-baked. Apart from the moral issue, if one evicts all of these borrowers - there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of them - one will destroy the very market one is trying to reflate.
