The driver of a stolen ambulance has been killed after the vehicle crashed into a double-decker bus near York, according to Sky sources.
The person driving the ambulance - who police believe was not a paramedic or a member of ambulance staff - was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the bus and five of its 16 passengers were taken to hospital after the collision on the A64, near the Flaxton junction, about 8.30pm.
Their injuries were not life-threatening.
Another person, travelling in a Toyota Yaris with one other, was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Motorists have been asked to stay away from the area.
North Yorkshire Police tweeted: "The A64 at #York, near the Flaxton junction, is closed in both directions due to a serious collision. Please avoid the area."
Police have urged anyone who witnessed the crash or saw either of the vehicles beforehand to contact police and quote reference number 556 of 10 April.
The Metropolitan Police has come under fire after it emerged officers initially failed to go to the scene of the Hatton Garden jewel heist despite a burglar alarm going off.
A security firm had contacted the force about an intruder alert at the safe deposit company shortly after midnight on Good Friday.
But the call was graded in a way that meant officers did not consider it worthy of a response.
And it was not until Tuesday morning, following the four-day bank holiday Easter weekend, that the raid - one of Britain's biggest - was discovered.
The Met is now investigating why the force did not respond to the alarm activated as the heist was thought to be getting under way.

Police insisted it was too early to say if the handling of the call about the alert would have had an impact on the outcome.
But the revelations have led to anger from potential victims who spoke of their shock that the police "just weren't there".
Millions of pounds worth of gems were thought to have been stolen in the raid in London's jewellery district.
Michael Miller, from Knightsbridge, who may have lost £50,000 in uninsured jewellery, said: "I am just so shocked and disappointed to hear the police didn't answer that alarm.
"I mean before, we thought maybe the police didn't even know about that but now we know that they knew something was wrong.

"This completely changes things, the knowledge that something could have been done.
"The police pride themselves on being somewhere in a couple of minutes, but on this occasion they just weren't there."
A store owner near the scene, who did not wish to be named, said: "It's just shocking that someone didn't answer that call that come in when the alarm went off.
"You think what on earth isn't a high priority call if it's isn't a safe deposit alarm going off in there.
"I know they're investigating but really what is the good of that when the damage is done. There are people who will have lost their livelihoods because of this."

Scotland Yard said: "The call was recorded and transferred to the police's CAD (computer aided despatch) system. A grade was applied to the call that meant that no police response was deemed to be required.
"We are now investigating why this grade was applied to the call. This investigation is being carried out locally."
Those behind the raid disabled a communal lift shaft and climbed down to the basement before using power tools to drill through a two-metre wall into the vault.
Once inside, they ransacked a total of 72 safety deposit boxes, although five were empty at the time.
A further 11 were due to be "drilled out" due to non-payment of fees, meaning detectives are attempting to contact a total of 56 box holders.
More than nine million people are expected to watch the Grand National today, as bookies predict the biggest betting turnover of all time.
The National gets under way at 4.15pm at Aintree with 39 horses lining up to tackle the famous course, over 30 fences and nearly four-and-a-half miles.
Favourite to triumph is Shutthefrontdoor, ridden by jockey AP McCoy, who says he will retire if he passes the winning post first.
The horse has been a consistent 7-1 all week, but the odds are likely to shorten when the public support arrives.
Bookmakers Betfred predict the biggest betting turnover on a single race in British history.

"Normally there is about £150m waged - but we are expecting that figure to be some way north of that today," a spokesman told Sky News.

The winning horse will collect £561,300. Second place brings in £211,100, while the horse finishing third collects £105,500.

This afternoon's rank outsider is River Choice, attracting odds as high as 250-1.
A win for Shutthefrontdoor, trained by Jonjo O'Neill, could cost bookmakers up to £50m, with millions of punters expected to place their faith in the horse.
Some expect the mount to become the shortest-priced National favourite since Red Rum 40 years ago.

The elderly and people with health problems have been warned to avoid strenuous activity because of harmful levels of air pollution expected to blanket parts of the UK.
The warning comes as forecasters say Britain could enjoy the hottest day of the year so far, with parts of eastern England predicted to reach highs of 22C (71.6F).
Eastern, central and southern England are forecast to be affected by "high" pollution today.
Parts of East Sussex and west Kent are expected to reach "very high" levels, according to the Government's UK-Air monitoring service.
Air pollution maps released by Defra
The high levels are due to domestic soot particulates, combined with dirty air from the Continent and some Saharan dust.
With the fine, settled weather conditions the pollution will be trapped over the UK for several hours.
Video:The Latest Weather Forecast
Dr Sotiris Vardoulakis, head of the air pollution group at Public Health England, said: "While most people will not be affected by short term peaks of air pollution, some individuals, particularly those with existing heart or lung conditions, may experience increased symptoms."
Dr Vadoulakis said in areas with very high pollution levels people should reduce physical exertion if they develop a cough or sore throat.
He added: "Adults and children with lung problems, adults with heart problems, and older people should avoid strenuous physical activity.

More than a third of British Muslims blame the actions of the police and MI5 for radicalising the younger generation, suggests an exclusive Sky News poll.
Some 39% said the authorities were contributing to radicalising young people, with 29% saying they were not.
The research found the issue of young people travelling to fight with extremist groups, including Islamic State, or becoming so-called 'jihadi brides', remains highly controversial.
Saima Alvi and Miranda Rutley: areas of disagreement but also common ground
Abase Hussen, father of 15-year-old Amira Abase - one of three London teenagers to head to Syria in February, has blamed police for failing to warn families the girls were at risk.
However, the opinion poll - carried out for Sky News by Survation, suggests both Muslims and non-Muslims were most likely to see families as being responsible for preventing young people heading to Syria: 44% of Muslims and 65% of non-Muslims agreed.
Just 3% of Muslims thought the police were responsible, 15% said the Government, 9% religious leaders and 2% schools.
Sympathy with those leaving the UK to fight for or marry terrorist groups in Syria was highest among women.
Some 11% of female Muslims agreed they had a lot of sympathy, compared to 5% of males. The figures for non-Muslims were at 4% for both sexes.
However, a majority of Muslims and non-Muslims said they had no sympathy for those joining extremist groups.
The Sky News survey is the first of its kind and looked at what Muslims and non-Muslims think about issues including radicalisation, security concerns, political uncertainty, a rise in hate crimes and growing prejudice.
We asked 1,000 Muslims and 1,000 non-Muslims to share their opinions and found that while 71% of Muslims in the UK said the values of British society were compatible with those of Islam, 16% believed they were not.
The results found younger Muslims were more likely to see their values aligned to those of Britain, with 73% of those aged 18 to 34 agreeing, compared to 71% of those aged over 55.
Male Muslims were also more likely to agree - 78%, versus 64% for females.
On the issue of integration into UK society, the survey found 58% of non-Muslims believed their Muslim neighbours were not doing enough, with those aged over 55 more likely to be critical.
A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a motorway crash which left three people injured.

A Syrian-born preacher who was shot dead in London did not hold radical views and was "actively involved in the fight against extremism," according to his family and community.
Abdul Hadi Arwani was found in his Volkswagen Passat in Wembley with a gunshot wound to the chest on Tuesday morning.
A murder investigation was launched into the death of the 48-year-old, who was a preacher at the An-Noor Mosque in Acton, and is now being led by counter-terror police.
Mr Arwani's son Abdelmoneim Mahmoud, one of his six children, posted a message on Facebook on behalf of his family paying tribute to his "peaceful" father.
The An-Noor Mosque in Acton, west London
"He was the most peaceful man you could ever wish to meet," the statement said. "He just loved to help people. He did not care what your background, race or status was."
Mr Mahmoud continued: "My father was actively involved in the fight against extremism, campaigning for peace and advocating the importance of democracy and freedom.
"He loved the idea of freedom for all, regardless of religion, race and background.
"He spoke up and out against the crime of terror and oppression wherever he found it."
An-Noor Mosque has previously hosted the son of radical preacher Abu Hamza, and was the location for the November 2013 escape of terror suspect Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who dressed himself in a burka.
But Mr Arwani had been "the voice of reason and transparency" at the mosque, where he was a preacher between 2005 and 2011, the family said.
Visitors to the mosque added that the cleric, a British national who was born in Syria, did not hold radical views.
One visitor said: "He was a beloved man, he used to give lectures, and teach. He was well loved in the community around here. And he wasn't radical or anything, that wasn't him."
A post-mortem examination into Mr Arwani's death will take place today.

Some of the UK's top footballers could be among the victims of the Hatton Garden safe deposit raid.
Jewellers who store gems at the diamond centre in Holborn, central London, do commission work for a number of Premier League stars, a source told Sky News.
They work on high-priced orders for wives and girlfriends and for the footballers themselves.
"Players have almost unlimited spending power and love to outdo each other with extravagant purchases, especially where jewellery is concerned," said the source.
"It's only natural they would go to the renowned craftsmen of Hatton Garden to place their orders."
Video:Raid: How Thieves Gained Entry
The players affected are likely to play for the top London clubs, but it is thought stars of other clubs visit the dozens of jewellers in Hatton Garden when they are playing or partying in London.
Flying squad detectives said up to 70 safe deposit boxes were broken open, but they had not informed the victims because forensic work was still going on.

The raiders are believed to have broken into the building through the roof and abseiled down a lift shaft.

Heavy cutting equipment was then used get into a vault, believed to be reinforced with thick metal and concrete doors, up to 2ft thick.
The stolen jewellery and precious stones, which could be worth millions of pounds, will already be out of the country, former Flying Squad chief Barry Phillips believes.
He described the heist as "sophisticated" and "highly organised" and said it would have been carried out by a "professional team".
Questions have been raised about security at the premises amid reports guards responded to an alarm on Friday, but left without checking inside.
Video:Raid: 'What's Going On?'
Safe deposit box owner Gerry Landon said he found the break-in "unbelievable".
"Apparently, as you may have read, the alarm went off at one o'clock on Friday and the security guards came down," Mr Landon said.
"They more or less looked through the window to see that there was no activity there - and then they left."
Neil Duttson, a diamond dealer who buys stones for private clients, said tracing gems stolen in the heist would be nearly impossible.

"Once diamonds have been re-cut and polished there is no geological map," he said.
"I imagine they will be sat on for six months. You can expect some cheap diamonds will be coming on the market soon."
Police have not put a value on the goods stolen, but estimates vary widely from hundreds of thousands of pounds to £200m.
The estimated size of an oil find near Gatwick Airport has been upgraded to 100 billion barrels.
UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) said the Horse Hill-1 well in the Weald Basin was now thought to hold 158 million barrels per square mile.
In May 2014, the British Geological Survey estimated the Weald Basin to hold around 4.4 billion barrels of shale oil.
UKOG described the find as a possible "world class" resource with the potential for "significant daily oil production."
The company's Chairman David Lenigas, said it would create "many thousands of jobs" but cautioned that it would take a long time to begin production.
He said: "You've got to work through government process and to work with the local community. Everybody expects you to snap your fingers and all of a sudden the magic panacea is there. The key thing is there is a potential resource of significance here - but the fast track or slow track nature is really going to be determined by Westminster".
The US-based firm which studied the reservoir estimated that recovery of the oil would be limited at between 3% and 15% of the total.
It also insisted there was no need to use the controversial extraction process, known as fracking, to get access to the oil.
Mr Lenigas said: "Horse Hill is a conventional well, with conventional testing and we've got permission from the government authorities for a conventional programme. There will be no fracking at Horse Hill."
The UK currently produces 770,000 barrels of oil per day, compared to 11.1 million in the United States and 11.7 million in Saudi Arabia.
The announcement helped shares in UKOG rise more than 300% during trading on Thursday.
But the environmental campaign group Greenpeace urged people to focus on clean technologies.
Greenpeace's Chief Scientist Dr Doug Parr said : "To gleefully rub your hands at a new fossil fuel discovery you need to turn the clock back to the 19th century and ignore everything we have learnt about climate change since. We already have more than enough coal, oil, and gas reserves to fry the planet"
The families of two teenage boys believed to have travelled to Syria have said they are "in a state of profound shock" and are exrtremely concerned for their safety.
The seventeen-year-olds, named as Hassan Munshi and Talha Asmal, are thought to have fled to the country after travelling to Turkey on 31 March.
The pair, from Dewsbury, were last seen by their families on the day they are thought to have flown from Manchester airport to Dalaman.
A statement released on behalf of the two families said: "Our number one priority is to get Hassan and Talha back home ... and we implore anyone who may have any information whatsoever to get in contact with the police.
Kadiza Sultana, Shamima Begum and Amira Abase are thought to be in Raqqa
"These were just two ordinary Yorkshire lads who enjoyed the things that all young people enjoy at their age - both Hassan and Talha had a promising future as an apprentice and an A-level student respectively, and we are praying they will be back with us soon and are able to realise that future."
The statement added: "We would implore all parents to be extra vigilant, although as we found, it's near impossible to know your children have been groomed and brainwashed.
Video:IS Threat Gets Closer To Damascus
"Syria is a frightening war-torn place and we need to urgently educate our young children about the dangers posed by those who prey on impressionable teenagers."
Hassan is believed to be related to Hammaad Munshi, who was arrested by counter-terrorism police in 2006 at the age of 15 and later convicted over his role in a plot to murder non-Muslims, The Times newspaper reported.
West Midlands Police says it has been supporting the two families and carrying out extensive inquiries alongside the North East Counter Terrorism Unit.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Milsom said: "Syria is an extremely dangerous place and the public will be aware of the dangers these boys may face.
"The choice of returning home from Syria is often taken away from those that come under the control of Islamic State, leaving their families in the UK devastated and with very few options to secure their safe return."

He urged anyone concerned that a friend or relative may be contemplating travelling to Syria to contact police or local safeguarding units.
The two teenagers are believed to have travelled on a Thomas Cook Airlines flight out of Manchester.
A spokesman for the company said: "Whilst we cannot confirm the names of any of our passengers who travel with us, we can reassure all our customers that we work closely with all authorities to ensure the safety of our flights in and out of the UK."
UK security services believe around 600 Britons have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join militant groups, with around half now back in the UK.
They include three teenage girls from East London, who are now thought to be in the Syrian city of Raqqa, an Islamic State stronghold.

Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana were last seen on CCTV at a bus station in Istanbul on 17 February.
Last week, nine Britons were arrested allegedly trying to cross into Syria from Turkey illegally.
Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101 or the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321.
New border checks are being introduced today which will require every passport to be thoroughly verified before a person can leave the UK.
The checks are being introduced at seaports, airports and tunnels which provide exit points from the British Isles.
The changes are expected to particularly affect cross-Channel and Channel tunnel travellers, who will now need to have their passports scanned.
As airlines currently gather passengers' information ahead of time, there is unlikely to be a noticeable difference in queues for passengers.
But there are fears of delays at peak travelling times while the changes are implemented.
Until now, many people have been able to leave the country without having their passport scrutinised.
The Home Office says the changes will strengthen Britain's border security, adding that the implementation of the checks will be staggered at sites across the country.
The changes have led to fears of delays for some travellers
For the first month all passports will be scanned, but only 25% of passport holders will have their details verified.
In the second month 50% will be checked. By the middle of June, 100% of passports will be fully checked.
Security and immigration minister James Brokenshire said: "It is right that we have an immigration system that is fair, that tackles immigration and that clamps down on anyone who tries to cheat the system by staying here when they have no right to do so.
"Exit checks will provide us with vital information that confirms a person's exit from the UK.
"Port and travel operators are experts in their business and know their customers best, which is why we've supported them to design and trial the systems for collecting data in a way that will minimise the impact on customers."
More staff have been brought in to cope with the new measures, but whether the changes will have a detrimental impact on passengers will not be known until peak travelling times, such as the summer months.
A P&O spokesperson said: "They have picked a quiet day for the introduction of the checks.
"The actual scanning of passports is quick, it's the verification that takes longer. We are hoping there will be a fairly seamless transition to the new system."
Gems stolen in one of the largest and most daring jewellery heists ever will already be out of the country, a former Flying Squad chief believes.
Jewellery and precious stones, which could be worth millions of pounds, were snatched by thieves from a vault in Hatton Garden, London.
The audacious villains are believed to have broken into the building through the roof and abseiled down a lift shaft to access the vault.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police said heavy cutting equipment was then used get into a vault at the premises, where 300 safe boxes raided.
The vault is believed to be reinforced with thick metal and concrete protection doors.
Video:Hatton Garden Jewel Vault Raid
Speaking to Sky News, former Flying Squad chief Barry Phillips described the heist as "sophisticated" and "highly organised".
He said the robbery will have been carried out by a "professional team".
"This has all the hallmarks of a TV or Hollywood film production," Mr Phillips said.
"It was a highly organised, sophisticated crime.
"It's highly likely that any gems or jewellery will have already been sourced and out of the country.
"If past jobs of this nature are taken into account, the thieves will have placed all of the jewellery prior to the robbery.
Video:1949: The Hatton Garden Vault Opens
"That takes a high degree of organisation on behalf of the villains."
Police have not put a value on the goods stolen, but estimates vary widely from hundreds of thousands of pounds to £200m.
Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: "I'm told that there are 600 boxes on the premises, 300 of which have been raided.
"The suspects have had perhaps several days (over Easter weekend) in which to get in.
"One report, I'm told, suggested that they used a lift shaft at some stage to get into the centre, which must be pretty heavily protected.
"It's probably going to be some days before we get an idea of exactly how much has been stolen or what indeed has been stolen."
Video:'I May Have Lost £35,000'
Hatton Garden is known as London's jewellery quarter and the safe deposit boxes are mainly used by local jewellers to store loose diamonds in packets.
Other boxes - around 10% of them - are rented by private individuals and so the true value of the heist may never be known, Mr Phillips said.
Lewis Malka, a diamond jewellery expert who works in Hatton Garden, tweeted: "Quiet day in the office and then I found out one of my client's antique bracelets was stolen in the Hatton Garden robbery."
Mr Malka added: "Most of the people who have got safe deposits there are people in the trade.
"I know for a fact that some of my work colleagues have got boxes down there and we are talking about hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds in goods."
In 2003, cash and valuables worth an estimated £1.5m were stolen after a suspect emptied safe boxes at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Co while posing as a customer.

In July 1987, the Knightsbridge Safe Deposit Centre was hit by one of the largest robberies in history.
Two armed robbers asked to rent a safe deposit box and produced handguns after they were shown to the vault before making off with an estimated £60m hoard.

The cheap package holiday boom of the 1960s and 70s means pensioners are now seven times more likely to develop the deadliest form of skin cancer.
New figures from Cancer Research UK show that men aged 65 and over are 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with malignant melanoma than their parents' generation.
Older women are around five times more likely to develop the disease.
Each year, some 5,700 pensioners are now diagnosed with melanoma each year in the UK compared with 600 in the mid-1970s.
Older women are around five times more likely to develop the disease
Age is a big risk for melanoma, but the increase is blamed on package holidays which became popular in the 1960s.
Getting sunburnt once every two years can triple a person's risk of developing the disease.
Professor Richard Marais, Cancer Research UK's skin cancer expert based in Manchester, said: "It's important for people to keep an eye on their skin and seek medical opinion if they see any changes to their moles, or even to normal areas of skin.
"Melanoma is often detected on men's backs and women's legs but can appear on any part of the body."
Malignant melanoma is the country's fifth most common cancer overall and the second most common cancer in young adults aged 15 to 34.
Each year, 2,100 Britons die from the disease.
Dr Julie Sharp, Cancer Research UK's head of health information, said: "Sun damage accumulates over time so avoiding sunburn - and sunbeds - is key, as well as getting to know your skin type so you don't overdo it on the beach or even in the garden."
Retired teacher Sue Deans, 69, from Croydon, south London, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2000 after having a mole removed.
She said: "I was part of the generation where package holidays became affordable and you could go abroad nearly every year.
"I don't think there was much understanding at the time about the impact that too much sun can have on your risk of getting skin cancer."
The warm Easter weather looks set to continue into the week.
Temperatures could reach 21C (70F) in some places, when the average UK temperature for April is 11.4C (52F) and for England is 12.4C, according to the Met Office.
Two Great White Pelicans in London's St James Park
Despite many holidaymakers expected to return from the Easter break on Monday the continued high pressure will ensure conditions in most areas will remain settled for the rest of the week.
The South and South West of England will see the best of the warm weather while in northeast Scotland it will be sunniest while northwest Scotland could see some cloud developing.
Most of Northern Ireland, particularly the east coast, will also enjoy spells of sunshine.
Sky's weather presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "Most places will continue with the dry and sunny conditions - however, eastern coastal regions and Irish sea coasts may be affected by sea fog.
"It will feel warm in the sunshine today, with top temperatures of 12-18C (54-64F)."
A man who allegedly fled Britain after two attacks on women has been caught while trying to buy a fake passport in India, police say.
Raminder Singh, 28, is accused of sexual assault, rape and attempted murder in July 2012 when he was in the UK.
One woman, aged 23, was found unconscious in Pilvig Park in Edinburgh in a pool of blood, with a broken jaw and cheekbone, and a missing tooth. The attacker had attempted to rape her.
A few days later a 27-year-old woman told police she had been subjected to a serious sexual attack and rape.
Police believe Singh was involved in both incidents and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
However, he managed to leave the country the next day and fly to India.
An extradition request was sent to the country from the UK, but Singh is thought to have changed his identity multiple times.
It is believed that in the meantime he worked at a call centre and even opened a restaurant.
A police source told Sky News that because some of his relatives worked in the Punjab police, there was not much interest in the case.
While on the run he is believed to have lived for some time with his relative Gurwinder Singh, a police inspector at Punjab Police Academy.
Local crime commissioner Ravindra Yadav told Sky News: "The Delhi Police was requested by the British High Commission to help nab the fugitive.
"The British police gave some inputs to us which we developed. We were roped in as they had confidence in us."
Singh was tracked for several months as a result.
An officer told Sky News that Singh was trapped when he was on his way to meet someone to buy a forged passport, and was held on Sunday night at the Singhu northern border of Delhi.
He has since appeared in court and the UK government will now move to have him extradited.
Police are hunting for a driver who left a 93-year-old woman lying in the middle of the road after a hit-and-run crash.
They have issued a CCTV image of the silver Chrysler Voyager thought to have struck Isobel Rawes in Shirley, West Midlands.
The pensioner is still in hospital being treated for the serious injuries she suffered.
Police said she was hit as she crossed Stratford Road at around 11.50am on 24 March.
A spokeswoman said: "The driver failed to stop at the scene and left the victim lying in the carriageway before driving away in the direction of the M42.
Police believe this car hit the 93-year-old
"Following extensive CCTV inquiries, police have identified the car as a silver-coloured Chrysler Voyager.
"It is believed that the vehicle will have damage to the front passenger side."
Sergeant Adam Green, from the Regional Collision Investigation Unit, said: "I would urge anyone that has seen a Chrysler Voyager with damage to the front passenger side to come forward.
"It may be that the driver has confided in a friend or family member or a neighbour has noticed recent damage.
"It is important that we speak to the driver in order to understand the reasons for the collision and the subsequent driving away from the scene to provide answers to the family of Mrs Rawes."
Anyone with information can contact the collision investigation unit on 101.

A 1980s-style housing "revolution" doubling the number of first-time buyers by 2020 has been pledged by the Tories, if they are elected.
The plan would mean half a million people a year getting their feet on the housing ladder, George Osborne said.
Labour claims Britain's chronic housing shortage is being fuelled by Coalition schemes such as Help to Buy and no action is being taken to boost supply.
Ed Miliband's party unveiled plans on Saturday to take the new ISA scheme for first-time buyers announced in the Budget and use it to finance wide-scale house building.
But Mr Osborne told the Sunday Telegraph he was determined to push even harder to open home ownership to more people.
Video:Archive: House Building In Crisis
He said as many as one million people would enjoy direct government help to purchase properties over the next parliament.
"I think we can deliver a revolution in home ownership," the Chancellor told the newspaper.
"We want to see a massive increase in the number of people who can own their own home because home ownership is an absolutely core Conservative belief and aspiration that we support.
:: Track how the major parties are faring in the latest opinion polls with the Sky News poll of polls, which averages all the latest polls to get the overall picture.
"In the next parliament I would like to see over a million more people helped into home ownership by a Conservative government.
"I would like to see us double the number of first-time buyers up to half a million. That is the kind of level we saw in the 1980s. There is no reason why our country can't achieve that again.
"That's a goal we set ourselves today."
Video:28 Feb: Boost For First-Time Buyers
Since 2010 there have been 1.2 million first-time purchases and Mr Osborne wants at least 2.4 million more over the next five years
Shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds said: "More warm words on housing from the Chancellor will be cold comfort to the record number of young people and families priced out of home ownership over the past five years.
"Under this Tory-led government we've seen the lowest levels of housebuilding in peacetime since the 1920s and home ownership has fallen to a 30-year low.

"Labour's Better Plan will ensure Britain builds the homes working people need.
"Labour will get at least 200,000 homes built a year by 2020, backed by a comprehensive plan - the first in a generation - and a £5bn Future Homes Fund to support the building of homes for first-time buyers."
The Tory pledge came as a YouGov poll for the Sunday Times showed the party overtaking Labour to move into a one point lead by 34% to 33%.

But Opinium research for The Observer had the Conservatives down one point on 33%, level-pegging with Labour (unchanged), while UKIP was up one point on 14%.
Liberal Democrats were down one on 7%, Greens were unchanged on 7% and the Scottish National Party were up one on 4%.
In a dramatic development on Saturday, an inquiry was ordered into the leak of a UK Government account of a private meeting between SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon and the French ambassador.
The Daily Telegraph published the diplomatic memo which suggested she had indicated that she would prefer to see Conservatives remain in power after the 7 May General Election.
Ms Sturgeon complained of a "dirty tricks" attempt to halt the party's advance.
She said it was "100% untrue" that she had expressed such a preference - a denial backed by French diplomats at the meeting.
But the memo was seized on by Labour leader Ed Miliband as a "damning revelation" of the SNP leader's true views.
Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon has offered Ed Miliband a new deal to help him take power and "lock David Cameron out of Downing Street".
Writing in the Observer, Ms Sturgeon challenged him to take his party into an anti-austerity alliance with the SNP - despite Mr Miliband ruling out any formal coalition.
Her words come a day after claims – strenuously denied by the SNP leader – that she had told the French ambassador she wanted Mr Cameron to stay as prime minister.

According to a leaked memo about the February meeting, she allegedly said Mr Miliband was not "prime minister material".

But Ms Sturgeon has reinforced her earlier offer to the Labour leader, telling him: "If together our parties have the parliamentary numbers required after 7 May, and regardless of which is the biggest party, will he and Labour join with us in locking David Cameron out of Downing Street?"
The SNP leader also uses the article to repeat denials that the memo claims are "100% untrue – having been comprehensively rejected by both the French ambassador and consul general".
A coalition government seems a likely result after next month's election, with the result seemingly on a knife-edge and no one party looking like getting an overall majority.
The Conservatives have seized on the prospect of a Labour-SNP coalition with posters showing Mr Miliband in the pocket of Ms Sturgeon.

The Labour leader has insisted "there will be no SNP ministers in any government I lead" - but crucially has not vetoed a looser arrangement that would see the party offering voting support to shore up Labour.
The SNP is glowing from a big boost in popularity in the wake of last year's independence referendum and - ironically - is expected to rob Labour of many of its Scottish MPs.
Ms Sturgeon was also seen by many as the best performer in the leaders' TV debate.
With just over four weeks to go, latest opinion polls put the Tories and Labour virtually level-pegging.
