Council Housing: Subsidies – Parliamentary Written Answer

Lord Kennedy of Southwark: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the level of subsidy from the public purse provided for council housing. 

Baroness Williams of Trafford: Local housing authorities do not receive subsidy from the Exchequer; the Localism Act 2011 abolished Housing Revenue Account Subsidy. The Housing Revenue Account Self-Financing Determinations published in 2012 provided a once and for all settlement that allows local housing authorities in England to keep all their rental income in return for a rebalancing of housing debt.
