Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department has put in place a cap on rental increases for social housing renters; and what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of implementing a cap on those increases for people with shared ownership homes.

I refer the Hon. Member to the Autumn Statement’s (Official Report, HC, Volume 722, Column 855) announcement on the cap on social rents. Further, to the answer I gave to Question UIN 173100 on 31 March 2023.
