'Stop' overseas buyers of London properties

A London MP is urging the government to take action to stop new homes in the capital from being sold and marketed abroad.

Developers are increasingly looking to Asia to market their properties.

BBC London reporter Jean Mackenzie spoke with Bermondsey and Old Southwark MP Simon Hughes and Yolande Barnes, director of Savills Research.
