Mr Juss recalled how former prime minister David Lloyd George, who led a national Liberal-Conservative coalition, began his 1918 general election campaign in Wolverhampton, promising 'homes fit for heroes'.

"He demanded better homes and said: 'What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in',” Mr Juss told the Commons.
