Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
I will have to respond to the noble Baroness in writing on the point about the housing board.
Baroness Walmsley (LD) [V]
My Lords, campaigners have asked for a coronavirus home retention scheme of £750 million in support to be made available to help renters in arrears, recover loss of income and avoid rent debt. Have the Government conducted a cost-benefit analysis comparing such a fund with the potential cost of making many families homeless because of rent arrears?
Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
I am not specifically aware of such a cost-benefit analysis, but we will certainly look into that as we develop policy in this area.
