Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of enabling institutional pension funds to invest in (a) temporary family accommodation and (b) homes for social rent.

In one of the first major acts of this Government, the Chancellor launched a landmark pensions review, dedicated to unlocking billions of pounds of investments to boost growth and make every part of Britain better off. The review is consulting widely and a recent call for evidence sought feedback on the role of pension schemes in investing in different asset classes. The first phase of the review will conclude in the coming months.
