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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will set out the average gross rents resulting from total allocations under the Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme 2016-21 to the end of September 2017 for affordable rent schemes in (a) London and (b) each Homes and Communities Agency operating area, expressed both in (i) pounds per week and (ii) as a percentage of market rent.

The Greater London Authority has published its proposed London Affordable Rent levels on its website. See page 7 in the following file:

The overall national average as a proportion of market rent for affordable rent funded housing through the programme is 80 per cent.
