3. LLOYDS BANK – SUPPORT FOR THE HOUSING MARKET
Creation of LBG Commission on Housing in January 2015. “No one single solution to
what is a complex and multi-layered series of challenges. Nor is our country’s housing crisis
susceptible to simplistic short-term ‘fixes’. What is required, is a sustained programme which
will generate a much expanded supply of good quality homes available both to buy and to rent
from a range of sources, at costs that reflect the varying means of all sections of society.”
