Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a scheme to help private tenants buy their current home similar to the Help to Buy scheme.

The Government is committed to helping people into home ownership, and helping first time buyers, including those currently renting, to get on the housing ladder. We operate a range of government schemes including Help to Buy, First Homes, Shared Ownership, Lifetime ISA and mortgage guarantee scheme; and we continually keep options to support first-time buyers under consideration.
