Mr Twyford was moved aside from the housing portfolio in the reshuffle yesterday.

The portfolio is now shared between a team of five headed by Megan Woods, with Mr Twyford handling urban development.

Ms Collins has offered an olive branch to Labour, asking the party to work with National to solve the housing crisis.

She speaks to Susie Ferguson.
