MHCLG isn’t putting money on a Pay to Stay comeback. The Ministry has put out a statement amounting to a

these plans. The government announced that the policy would not be taken
forwards in a written ministerial statement made on 21st November, 2016.”
Vaguery around a return for Pay to Stay arose out of a news story on Labour MP
Kate Osamor ‘maybe’ having to pay more rent living in a housing association
property in north London. Read more on 24housing.
