Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the announcement, PM to address the National Housing Federation Summit, made by the Prime Minister on 19 September 2018, whether the £2 billion in additional funding for housing associations will come from existing budgets in his Department.
These funds will not come from existing budgets at the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. This is new funding available from 2022, and is in addition to our current £9bn Affordable Homes Programme which runs until March 2022.
