The House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts has published the outcome of its inquiry into Help to Buy equity loans.

It also suggests that the DCLG ‘does not understand the overall impact of its housing strategy and the combined effectiveness of its different initiatives’, which include the New Homes Bonus scheme through which local authorities receive non-ring-fenced payments for every home added to the council tax register.
