I have a short question for the Minister. When the order came to the Merits Committee, my concern was whether there was any safeguard built into the software for this which would in any way prevent what one might call a run on unit trusts arising from a programme sale knock-on, as occurs in the equity market, and whether you could have an artificially created crisis in the unit trusts as a result of sales by more than one party or another creating a programme sale, knocking on into everyone else who holds those investments at that time to create an unnecessary and unwelcome panic sale on an otherwise reasonable investment portfolio.
