Melanie Onn: To ask the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government, when he plans to start the consultation on
his proposals to limit increases for social rents to CPI + 1 for five years
from 2020.
Alok Sharma: The Government has announced plans to set a
long term rent deal for housing associations and councils. Under the proposal announced
in October, annual social rent increases will be limited to CPI+1 per cent for
5 years from 2020. This will be reflected in a draft direction from the
Secretary of State to the Social Housing Regulator, which the Government will
consult on in 2018 with a view to issuing the direction before the end of 2018.
