How do you wean people off the help-to-buy? The commission recommended that it come to an end in 2022. It was supposed to have been ended many times and if this Government is re-elected I am sure it will be continued again. The problem is the market expects it, so it is factored into prices and so on. When you do something like this it distorts the market but when you turn the tap off, what kind of effect will it have? Has the commission looked at that?
