Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Graham P Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

My hon. Friend makes a valid point regarding going from First Buy to homebuy to Help to Buy. When the Government talk about affordable housing, is there any explanation of why the upper limit in the previous schemes of £280,000 was increased to £600,000 in the current scheme? How does that qualify as affordable housing, and how does it help people who are struggling? That is surely redirecting money at people who could afford a more modest property.
