Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if his Department has plans to help support people selling their homes following a number of banks withdrawing mortgages.

There remains a broad range of mortgage products on the market, and those looking to take out a mortgage are encouraged to shop around and speak to a mortgage broker.

The pricing and availability of loans is a commercial decision for lenders in which the Government does not intervene. Likewise, it would not be appropriate for the Government to intervene in individual house sales.
