Borrowing caps on councils’ Housing Revenue Accounts
(HRA) should be raised – and, in some cases, scrapped – to help boost
housebuilding, MPs have recommended. A report by the Communities and Local
Government Committee, Capacity in the
Homebuilding Industry, suggests that HRA borrowing caps are limiting local
authorities’ ability to build. The report notes that research found that 57% of
141 councils had not made use of the additional borrowing capacity since the
introduction of self-financing in 2012. Download the report from the Parliament
website.
