A £400 million fund to kick-start housebuilding is set to be announced as part of Government plans to solve Britain's housing crisis.

David Cameron and Nick Clegg will pledge to break the "current cycle in which lenders won't lend, builders can't build and buyers can't buy" when they unveil the Government's housing strategy.
