A major row has erupted at Cabinet over the Coalition’s housing plans, leading to a memorandum on the Summer Economic Statement (SES) being pulled from today’s agenda.

Senior Government sources have confirmed that agreement could not be reached on signing off the level of funding to be committed to the delivery of housing and as a result, an additional Cabinet meeting will be required this week to sign off on it.
