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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of capping social rent increases at three per cent on levels of homelessness.

We consulted on setting a ceiling on such rent increases at 3%, 5% or 7% and included an impact assessment for each option here. The consultation is closed, and we are considering responses with a view to responding shortly.
