Justin Madders:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what plans he has for rent convergence in the social housing sector.
Kit Malthouse:
For more than a decade, registered providers of social housing were able to
increase the rent on Social Rent properties by an additional £2 per week if the
rent was below the 'formula' level. This mechanism was phased out in 2015 and
the Government has no plans to reinstate it, as this would be likely to result
in additional costs to tenants and taxpayers.
