We are in the middle of a housing crisis and we need to increase our housing output, I would argue, over and above the Government target. Mr. Coffey says that if we do this too quickly there is the potential for housing to be a driver in overheating the economy. How do we get around that? If we need more houses and we have to build them to accommodate the crisis how do we in doing so prevent the economy overheating? What measures can we take to offset that?
