As the Deputy will be aware, I set up an Expert Group to report to me with recommendations on a range of matters regarding mortgage arrears and personal debt. In the course of the data gathering phase of its work, the Expert Group met with the Future Group and listened to their submission on how to deal with the issue of providing independent advice to borrowers in difficulty. The Expert Group have recently made interim recommendations to me and are expected to complete a final report by the Autumn. Proposals received from the Future Group and others who made submissions not covered in the interim report will be given full consideration by the Expert Group in the next phase of its work as it completes its final report.
