PRIME Minister David Cameron was today due to visit Essex to unveil the Conservative's final manifesto theme.
The Conservative leader will say he wants to "build a country that rewards those who work hard and do the right thing".
Mr Cameron will announce today that, if voted back into power in May, a Conservative Government will build 200,000 cut-price starter homes for first-time buyers by 2020.
That is twice the number currently planned.
They will only be available to first-time buyers under the age of 40 and a cap will be put on their price of £250,000 outside London or £450,000 in London.
New rules will cut planning red-tape for starter homes, which means developers can build them for 20 per cent less than the usual price.
