On the Andrew Marr show this morning Ed Balls said he understood the Crosby Report was on The Chancellor's desk. On that basis we ought to start getting leaks soon from the Government on any proposals they want to float as being worth introducing, assuming of course there are some, bearing in mind the interim report warned the recommendation might be to do nothing.

On a wider note, do you see Fanny/Freddy's nationalisation as the beginning of the end of mortgage constraints, particularly as more motivated lenders seem to be active?

If so is it reasonable to buy this winter on a 5-year view?
