Shelter calls for more new homes in Scotland

Charity Shelter said thousands of new homes could be built, and has urged the Government to build its way out of recession by funding affordable housing projects.

The charity state that there are 200,000 households on Scottish council waiting lists, and has presented a two-year package for social housing which would provide £600m for new homes .

In recent months house building had slumped while the need for homes remained.

The charity claim that the building project would also boost the construction industry and protect a significant number of jobs.
