Is our housing system broken?

Mishal Husain broadcasts from a new housing development in Merseyside in Victoria Place

Too few homes are being built for the estimated 250 thousand new households being created in the UK. Houses that do exist are often unaffordable to buy or rent for those on average incomes.

Mishal Husain broadcasts from a new housing development in Merseyside in Victoria Place and speaks to Housing Minister Gavin Barwell, Liberal Democrats Shadow Housing Minister John Shipley, Shelter Director of Policy Anne Baxendale and lecturer Dr Olivier Sykes.
