Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish the full list of rents for England used to calculate the Local Housing Allowance rates for 2022-3.
Answered by Lucy Frazer - Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport
The Local Housing Allowance (LHA) list of rents are published here: www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-housing-allowance-list-of-rents.
As the LHA rate has been frozen, the most recent list of rents published is for 2020-21. Therefore, the data used to calculate the LHA for 2022-23 remains the same as that used for 2020-21.
