Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what proposals he has to end the practice known as gazumping in Wales; and whether he will make a statement;

(2) what proposals he has under consideration to slow house price rises in Wales; what consultations he intends to undertake; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Grist

I do not consider that Government intervention in the market for owner-occupation would improve the situation.
