Regardless of who's fault the original inflation was, the government know they can't hope to control inflation by raising interest rates if they then give a subsidy to mortgage holders.

 

It's worse that way than just leaving the rates low, as the effect is the same either way but with a subsidy they have to borrow more on the national debt.

Quote

Little Testwood Farm, in the New Forest was identified as a travelling
showpeople’s site in the survey of Gypsies and Travellers carried out by
consultants on behalf of SHOG in 2006. The results of that survey showed
that 5 households lived on the site, of which 3 identified themselves as
showpeople and 2 as showground workers. The site has planning permission
for both showpeople and Gypsies and Travellers. The survey identified no
need for further space on this site. It is one of 2 sites in Hampshire where
showpeople and Gypsies and Travellers live together4. This site was
amongst the number from which there have not been any responses to the
current survey.
