Private Rented Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of councils offering private rented properties.

Answer

It is a matter for individual local authorities as to whether they wish to include private rented accommodation as part of their wider housing offer, including through Local Housing Companies.

The government is committed to delivering the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation and will support councils and housing associations to build their capacity to make a greater contribution to affordable housing supply.

For an overview of our policies in this area, I refer the hon. Member to my response to Question UIN 41721 on 3 April 2025.
