David Cameron opposed increased funding for social
housing in the last parliament because it would “produce more Labour voters”,
Nick Clegg has claimed. The former deputy prime minister said both the prime
minister and the chancellor privately rejected Liberal Democrat calls for more
money for social housebuilding under the coalition government. Mr Clegg gave
his account of his attempt to allocate more money for social housing: “When the

housing, the prime minister and chancellor rebuffed them with the stark
message: ‘All it does is produce more Labour voters.’” Downing Street did not
deny that the comments were made. Read more on the Independent website.
