(asked on 7th June 2018) - View Source

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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the plans by the Mayor of London to provide grant funding to local authorities in London to build council housing.


This question was answered on 21st June 2018

The Mayor has responsibility for housing delivery in London.

At Spring Statement 2018, the Chancellor announced that we will be providing London with an additional £1.67bn from the Affordable Homes Programme to support the Mayor to build a further 26,000 affordable homes. Two-third will be homes for rent, including at social rent. This has increased our investment in London to over £4.8bn for at least 116,000 affordable homes by March 2022.

We are providing the Mayor with the investment to deliver the affordable homes that London needs, working with Housing Associations and Local Authorities.
