Please find following a reaction to Government’s housing announcement from Stewart Baseley, executive chair of the Home Builders Federation. “Whilst welcoming any measures that may boost the housing market, today’s announcement is not enough. The current situation demands drastic action and we have been calling on Government to take a range of measures to address the situation. The implications for the wider economy, industry jobs and the Governments long term targets of not acting now are severe.” If you need any further comment, please do not hesitate to contact me.
