It is the opposite because I totally disagree with what the Deputy just said. Deputy Spring’s line of questioning essentially shows the desperation of the Government trying to resolve the housing crisis. It is now trying to put the onus on the banks to sort it out. That is a futile policy which is destined to go nowhere and, essentially, absolves the Government of its requirement to start building houses.
