Did i hear Cameron say £250k stamp duty for eveyone last night?!

On leaders debate last night Cameron mentioned the £250k stamp duty threshold for everyone - but didn't mention first time buyers. Has anyone read his manifesto and can confirm this is true? I've always though the £250k for first time buyers was ridiculous as if a FTB can afford a £250k pad I certainly think they can…

Houses are over priced. They should all drop to half their value,then first time buyers could get a foot on the ladder.

Hmm, except if those caught with too much negative equity to sell as a result, means less houses available to sell.... thus pushing prices back up?
