Housing Grants: Motion.
The notion that the investor in the market should receive benefits raises all sorts of ideological questions. Those who are investing in property invariably have a home already. The person who does not have a home is forced to compete with the person who does. Where should the priority lie? Where is the greater need? As a society, we should ask these questions and answer them in a particular way. Clearly people who need to purchase a home should be the priority.
