Q6: We cannot afford our own family home, what will you do to help families afford housing?
Cameron - agrees with the questioner (yet again, as if he ever wouldn't!). We are going to stop putting your taxes up, and we will stop stamp duty on under 250k. We also need to build far more houses. Part ownership part renting is good. We should reward good behaviour with a part ownership of housing (this is bizarre!).
Clegg - We have a plan to convert 200k empty homes, build more houses and convert 1 bed flats into bigger homes. We need to empower councils. Also we need to see that there is a role for council housings.
Brown - there are 1 million more home owners than there were 10 years ago. We are helping with stamp duty now, and we have got to get the banks lending again. He thinks we will be able to increase home ownership quickly with his policies. Shared equity is a good way forward. Also interest rates need to stay low.
Comment: Poor from all.
