MORE than 150,000 children are now in temporary accomodation as campaigners warned today that “little is being done” by the government.

The total at the end of March is 15 per cent higher than the previous year and the highest since records began in 2004.

Data from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government also showed a record high of households in temporary accomodation.
