Yes, I do. Colleagues may have noticed that the CSO has reported that property prices have increased annually for the first time since January 2008. Other colleagues in the House have been very concerned about the issue of mortgage-based repossessions. The first tranche of reporting on mortgage arrears resolutions, which require the banks to reach agreements with distressed borrowers, is due to take place in September.

I ask the Leader to facilitate a debate, to be taken by the Minister for Finance, on the issue of mortgage repossessions and the banking system in general, at the first possible opportunity after the recess.
