More than 310,000 children in England are being forced to share beds with family members due to severe overcrowding, a report reveals today.
Grim research by the National Housing Federation found nearly 2 million children from 746,000 families live in cramped conditions due to a chronic shortage of social housing.
Families already living in social housing are the most likely to be overcrowded as there are no larger social homes for them to move to and they cannot afford other kinds of property.
