    Tory chairman Grant Shapps told aides to suppress emails that showed he 'misled MPs'

    Civil servants believed former housing minister made inaccurate statements about number of affordable

    homes being built in Britain

    A government department spent thousands of pounds attempting to suppress emails showing that civil

    servants believed their minister may have misled MPs.

    Officials in the Department for Communities and Local Government battled for nearly a year to prevent

    the release of internal correspondence relating to the former Housing minister Grant Shapps.

    When they were finally forced to back down by the Information Commissioner and release the emails

    they showed that civil servants believed Mr Shapps, who is now Conservative Party chairman, had made

    inaccurate statements about the number of affordable homes being built in Britain.
