'WORK OR LOSE HOME' SAYS MINISTER
Unemployed council and housing association tenants should seek work or face losing their homes, housing minister Caroline Flint has suggested.
She said new applicants for social housing might sign "commitment contracts" pledging to seek employment.
HOUSING SPECIFICATION WELCOMES CAROLINE FLINT
Ms Flint said shortly after arriving at her new post: "I am delighted to have been appointed Housing Minister. "Housing is a key priority for this Government. We desperately need more affordable housing - to help first-time buyers and young families who are struggling to get a foot on the housing ladder. And we need to tackle the challenge of climate change by making our homes greener.

In a speech, Ms Flint said: "Social housing should be based around the principle of something for something." Shadow housing minister Grant Shapps said the idea was "meaningless" as it could not be legally enforced.
In her first speech as housing minister Ms Flint told the Fabian Society that she wanted to "begin a debate" about how to best serve the needs of people who live in social housing.
