Rescue scheme still missing in action
BBC: PM 'raised false mortgage hopes'
Gordon Brown has been accused by the Tories of raising false hopes over a promised scheme to help people struggling with mortgage payments.
When the PM announced the Home Owner Support Scheme in December he said it would be available from early 2009.
The scheme will now be launched in April due to protracted negotiations with lenders over how it will work.
The Tories said it was "completely wrong for the government to announce a scheme where the details haven't been worked out and where months later people's expectations will have been dashed because actually they are still losing their homes rather than the scheme being in place."

Why the surprise? Nu Labour announced the end of mixed sex wards over 10 years ago.
What happens when my mum goes into hospital? Yup, a mixed ward.
The track record of "over promise, under deliver" is a hallmark of this government. If you are awaiting the cavalry to rescue you from your impending reposession, don't hold your breath!!!

Gawd the BBC doesn't half whinge on behalf of mortgage holders and bash tenancy holders.
