Sadiq Khan, Labour’s choice for London mayoral candidate, has set out his housing policies - with possible rent controls high on the agenda.
Writing in the New Statesman in June, Khan - a south London MP whose relatively easy win in the Labour mayoral race took many political analysts by surprise - says that in addition to various land release and planning measures to build new homes, he will develop a new “London Home Bond”, purchased by investors to fund housing.
He will implement a “50 per cent target for genuinely affordable homes” in new developments and will use planning powers to prevent Buy To Leave purchases.
