Lord Beecham: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what
assessment they have made of the impact of the reduction in council housing
rents on (1) the maintenance and improvement of the existing council housing
stock, and (2) the building of new council houses between now and 2022.
Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth: I refer the noble Lord to my
previous answer to him on 27 March - PQ HL6120. As stated in the Housing White
Paper, the Government will in due course set out a rent policy for social
landlords for the period beyond 2020 to help them to borrow against future
income. Our aim is to ensure that they have the confidence they need about
their future income in order to plan ahead.
