HBF’s top priority at present is to persuade the Government, the Bank of England and Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), and mortgage lenders that urgent action is required to assist the housing market and the new homes sector which are suffering from an extremely serious downturn. The following briefing note sets out the actions HBF has taken on behalf of HBF members, along with the Government’s response to date. Our efforts on behalf of
members will of course continue over the coming weeks and months.
