Q11. Jeremy Corbyn

To ask the Prime Minister what actions are being taken by the Government to ensure that the number of affordable rented houses in London increases. [4230]

The Prime Minister

We have reversed the decline in housing investment by the previous Administration with a massive programme to improve the quantity and quality of social housing in London. We are actively working with others, including the Mayor, on measures to increase the provision of housing, including affordable housing, in London. We have also just announced the allocations for our Starter Homes Initiative which will help to expand the supply of housing to key workers in the capital.
