Tory conference: Cameron in jobs and homes vow

David Cameron has promised up to 200,000 extra affordable homes and 400,000 new jobs in an interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.

The PM ruled out a U-turn on spending cuts but denied he was "sitting back" in the face of economic stagnation.
He cited plans to boost the "right-to-buy" in England and release government land as examples of action being taken.
But Labour said the economy was "flatlining" thanks to his policies and he had run out of ideas.
Mr Cameron dismissed calls for "a few billions" of extra spending - suggesting it would be a dangerous gamble to "deviate" from the government's tight deficit-reduction plans, as the Conservatives gathered in Manchester for their annual conference.

David Cameron claims to be "firing up the engines of growth" with plans to extend the right-to-buy, as the Tory conference gets under way in Manchester.
His comments came as police said an estimated 30,000 people were marching through the centre of the city in protest at the coalition's spending cuts.
Asked about claims by a senior Tory backbencher that the government lacked a coherent strategy for growth, Mr Cameron said: "We are firing up the engines of the British economy.
"There is a step change taking place right now. This government is not just sitting back."
The government is to increase the discounts available to council housing tenants in England who want to buy their own homes.

The move is an extension of a the "right-to-buy" policy which proved a vote winner for Margaret Thatcher - but which critics said decimated the stock of social housing and fuelled a house price bubble.

Cash raised by the sale of council housing will be spent on buying further homes, which will then be rented out at a reduced rate, under the plans to be outlined fully in a housing strategy later this year.
Asked by the BBC's Andrew Marr if there were enough council tenants for it to make a difference, he said: "There are over two million homes that are still available to be bought.
"So this is something that will make a big difference. And again that could provide another 100,000 homes, another 200,000 jobs.
"So taking those two policies together that could be 200,000 extra homes, 400,000 extra jobs."
