Clúid’s housing development may be a model for others, writes Noel Baker.

The Coalition has claimed a major triumph in halting the mortgage arrears crisis by curbing the power of banks to block debt deals — despite the fact that only 115 have ever been vetoed by lenders.

Groups working with distressed mortgage holders have welcomed “belated” attempts by the Government to address the mortgage arrears crisis but criticised the lack of detail available so far.

Clúid Housing has "warmly welcomed" today’s announcement of a trebling in capital funding for social housing in the Budget.
