Call to act over 'housing crisis'

The Government is being urged to do more to tackle the "housing crisis" after figures showed that the number of new builds started in England slipped to fewer than 100,000 during 2012.

Some 98,280 houses were started last year, marking an 11% fall compared with 2011, statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) showed.
