Osborne: More social homes 'not solution to problem'

The Chancellor George Osborne has said he does not think the solution to the housing problem is to build "many, many more social homes".

Interviewed on the Today programme Mr Osborne added that "we also need to help people who want to own their own home or indeed help people who want to build homes for private rent".

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Thursday 21 March 2013.
