Mark Field, MP, says things are so bad, the poor are forced to buy second homes outside of London

Mark Field, the MP for the down-at-heel Cities of Westminster and London demonstrates his understanding of how difficult the economic climate has been on regular people.
Many people who buy a second home outside the capital as an addition to a small London base do so not because they are enormously wealthy but precisely because they are not. It is virtually impossible even for many of those earning multiples of the average national wage to trade up the property ladder in the capital. For those with growing families, the only option is often to buy a house with garden outside London.
