Some developers will not accept a deposit from people using the help-to-buy scheme. I have heard of a few instances where developers have refused to accept it as a deposit on a new house. That is something that needs to be looked into. The figures the Minister gave for the scheme are impressive. I urge him to extend the it. Any further amendments that could improve it would be most welcome. The expenditure on the scheme fully justifies it and shows its benefit to first-time buyers.
