Dr. Kieran McQuinn:
The general point is the increased cost of housing is a major issue. Interestingly enough, we had a webinar this morning where other colleagues presented work on this issue - members may have seen the headlines regarding it - that looked at housing costs for older people, the prospects of the increased housing costs we observe, the impact they will have on home ownership rates in future and what this will mean for what is going on.
