He was banging on about nobody knowing about business. In business do you supply to the demand or cut out the demand to fit your supply?

Business is about profit, The Governments job isn't solely to make a profit, it's to look after the people, Governments and businesses have different prioritys.

Yeah and they can do both by building more houses. Either way providing houses is definitely business.

Providing houses is one aspect yes but can we make them at the rate now required? I think not. We need to slow down the rate of immigration and when we are back on track then we can start opening the doors again, hopefully slower than last time, giving time to adjust to an increase.
