answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>The government does not favour the introduction of caps on private rents as this could restrict investment in the private rented sector. From 1915 to the late 1980s, successive governments implemented policies to control or restrict private rents, which coincided with the decline in the private rented sector from nine-tenths of the housing stock in 1915 to one tenth in 1991. <br> <br> Rent caps have lead to worse property conditions for tenants by discouraging investment in existing accommodation.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 04/11/2019 15:41:56 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey previous answer version 2256 answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
