having looked further into the fault, when turning the key to the 'start' position it stops the start motor from turning.

As Gary says, it may be the switch has collapsed.

deffinately sounds like the switch has collapsed, or the locater screws have sheered and when you turn the key the wires are coming so close that the charge is jumping.
Liek gary says though whip the casing off check the switch then run off tot he scrap yard. The ignition swich block is seperate from the ignition key lock so you don't need to worry about needing a new key to start the car
