§ Mr. RaynsfordTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when his Department will publish its response to the twenty-second report from the Committee of Public Accounts on homelessness; and whether this will include the Housing Corporation's analysis of the affordability of housing projects undertaken under the new financial regime introduced by the Housing Act 1988.
§ Mr. BaldryThe Department's response to the Public Accounts Committee's report on homelessness was published last August in the form of a Treasury Minute (Cm 1617). It confirmed that the Housing Corporation would be monitoring outturn rents under the new financial regime. This is a continuing process which will inform annual reviews of grant rates.
