There is one final issue that I want to raise. What impact will the addition of inhibition to the summary warrant options have? Will it make things better or worse for debtors who own their homes?

However, you have gone outside to get consultant support. At least, Scottish Canals has.

It has spent £500,000 on that, with another £100,000 in the past financial year.
