    I people on benefits should be able to save more, stopping people from saving and getting out of poverty is unfair. I understand why, but there should be some form of bank account that allows saving for a house or a deposit for housing. It would boost the housing market I think.

    I disagree. A serious price correction to make housing more affordable to young families would boost the housing market... but that's a discussion for another board.
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place

    yes you are right but thats happening any way a natural correction in prices, it would help to raise the savings limits though for everyone.
