Shelter analysis shows that in more than four in 10 local authorities in England, a one-bed "affordable rent" home is "unaffordable for an individual on low pay", Mr Trew added.For this reason, he said it was important for the government to set a social rent target that would "focus this funding on social rent so that the cash delivers genuinely affordable social rented homes with rents tied to local incomes."

Meanwhile, housebuilders said that while the announcement was good news in the long term, they were hoping for a boost now for the wider housing sector - such as a reintroduction of the help-to-buy scheme.Neil Jefferson, CEO at the Home Builders Federation, said that a year into the new parliament, housing supply and investment were "still lagging well behind where they should be"."This will likely persist until government grapples with the challenges being faced by prospective first-time buyers trying to get on the housing ladder," he said.

Two French antiques experts have been convicted of forging historic chairs that they claimed had once belonged to French royals such as Marie Antoinette.Georges "Bill" Pallot and Bruno Desnoues were given four months behind bars as well as longer suspended sentences for selling a number of fake 18th Century chairs to collectors including the Palace of Versailles and a member of the Qatari royal family.

As both have already served four months in pre-trial detention, they will not return to prison.

Another defendant, Laurent Kraemer, who - along with his gallery - was accused of failing to adequately check the chairs' authenticity before selling them on, were acquitted of deception by gross negligence."Let the clumsy, the spineless, the alibi artists stand aside, a poor shot should be a shot irrevocably lost," he stated.

When the course opened in 1904 it measured 6,406 yards and was par-80. This week it is stretched to 7,372 yards and the par score is 70.Dubbed "Soakmont" when it last staged the US Open, heavy rainfall softened fairways and greens, Dustin Johnson's winning score was still only four under, admittedly including a controversial penalty for unintentionally moving his ball on the fifth hole of the final round.

Joint runners up Shane Lowry, Jim Furyk and Scott Piercy, who were three shots behind, were the only other players to beat par.When Angel Cabrera won in 2007, the course was fast and firm and the Argentine was the only contender to break 70 on the final day. His 69 was enough to finish five over for a one-shot win over Furyk and Tiger Woods.
