A high-profile committee of MPs investigating the
financial viability of housing associations will be flexible over its deadline
for evidence, after complaints over timing and “complex” terms of reference. A
number of housing associations were unable to meet the CLG Committee deadline
of 28 August, prompting Clive Betts, the committee’s chair, to confirm late
submissions will be accepted. The inquiry was launched by Labour MP Mr Betts on
29 July to examine the impact of government policies including the Right to
Buy, reduced social rents and welfare reform. The Northern Housing Consortium
(NHC) said it was not making a submission after a call to more than 100 of its
housing association members yielded interest from just one respondent. Read
