To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what information his Department holds on the number of people rehoused as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire who are facing potential increases in rent; and if he will take steps to ensure that no person has to pay increased rent who has been so rehoused.

People whose homes were destroyed in the fire will be provided with temporary accommodation at no cost. They will be offered permanent social housing at a social rent. This will mean that their rent will be no higher than their rent in Grenfell Tower, for a similar-sized property.
