Shadow chancellor Ed Balls has called for a 拢3bn programme of housebuilding to kickstart the economy, paid for using the proceeds of the forthcoming auction of 4G mobile phone spectrum.

In his keynote speech to the Labour Party conference in Manchester today, Balls will say that if Labour was in power today it would spend the money on building an extra 100,000 affordable homes and a stamp duty holiday for all homes below 拢250,000.

However, Balls will not make any promises of what policies Labour will institute if elected in 2015, because it is so unclear what the state of the economy will be at the time.

Balls will say: 鈥淚n difficult times, we urgently need to put something back into the economy,鈥� and that it is time to 鈥渃ut through the dither and rhetoric and actually do something鈥�.

Balls is expected to point out that in the last two years 119,000 construction jobs have been lost and there has been a 68% fall in the number of affordable homes being built.

Speaking to BBC Breakfast 好色先生TV, Balls said the 拢3bn homes boost was a 鈥渃lear and costed plan鈥� to boost the economy and that a future Labour government would 鈥減ut jobs and growth first,鈥� but refused to be drawn into making further policy pledges.

He said: 鈥淵es we鈥檒l act on jobs and growth, but we can鈥檛 make promises right now. I鈥檓 not saying short term things, I鈥檓 saying we need to plan for the long term. Labour supporters want hope for the future and action on jobs.鈥�

鈥淏ut I鈥檓 also going to say that the reason why our deficit is going up now, is because we鈥檙e in recession and thegovernment is failing on the economy and I鈥檓 setting out a clear and costed plan today.

鈥淚 think your viewers are fed up off the government making excuses they want action now and a labour government would act to get people back to work and get the deficit down.鈥�
