Philip Dunne, the retiring MP for Ludlow, currently chairs parliament's Environmental Audit Committee and spoke out of the massive problem and that "no solutions are coming out of anyone."

"We have to find places for them to live but this is part of a global problem," said Mr Dunne who was speaking on Sunday's Politics Midlands BBC One show.
