To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to mitigate the financial pressure faced by mortgage holders due to inflation rising interest payments.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to mitigate the financial pressure faced by mortgage holders due to inflation rising interest payments.
The pricing of mortgages is a commercial decision for lenders in which the Government does not intervene. However, we recognise this is a concerning time for mortgage borrowers.
The path to lower interest rates is through low inflation. The independent Monetary Policy Committee continues to have the Government’s full support as it takes action to return inflation to target.
At a meeting with the Chancellor in June, lenders agreed to a new Mortgage Charter to support borrowers struggling with their mortgage payments. The Charter sets out the standards signatory lenders will adopt when helping their customers, including new flexibilities to help customers manage their mortgage payments over a short period.
The Charter is in addition to the significant safeguards already in place for consumers in the mortgage market. Financial Conduct Authority rules require lenders to engage individually with their customers who are struggling or who are worried about their payments in order to provide tailored support. The Government has also taken measures aimed at helping people to avoid repossession, including Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) loans, protection in the courts through the Pre-Action Protocol, and the Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service (HLPAS).
More broadly, the Government has taken decisive action to support households across the UK through the cost-of-living challenges, whilst remaining fiscally responsible. Overall, the Government is providing support worth over £104 billion over 2022-2025 to help households and individuals with the rising cost of living – an average of over £3,700 per UK household.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will take steps to ensure that his policies on tackling inflation help support mortgage holders.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will take steps to ensure that his policies on tackling inflation help support mortgage holders.
High inflation is the greatest economic challenge that we must address, which is why the Government has made it a priority to halve inflation this year, on the path back to the 2% target. Monetary policy, including all decisions on Bank Rate, is the responsibility of the independent Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England, and they have the Government’s full support as they take action to return inflation back to target.
MPC decisions over Bank Rate guide commercial banks’ decisions over the retail interest rates they charge on loans and pay on deposits. However, banks also make commercial judgements that influence the degree of pass‐through from changes in Bank Rate into retail interest rates, with conditions in financial markets and in the banking sector also influencing interest rates paid on deposits or charged for lending.
Nevertheless, we recognise this will be a concerning time for mortgage borrowers, particularly those who are due to come to the end of their existing deal in the immediate future.
Following the commitments agreed to support borrowers in December, the Chancellor met with mortgage lenders, UK Finance and the Financial Conduct Authority on 23 June. At this meeting, lenders agreed to a new Mortgage Charter to support borrowers struggling with their mortgage payments, which was published on 26 June. This sets out the standards lenders will adopt when helping their customers, including new flexibilities to help customers manage their mortgage payments over a short period.

This is in addition to the measures the Government has already taken aimed at helping people to avoid repossession, including Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI) loans, and protection in the courts through the Pre-Action Protocol.

My Lords, a few days ago there was an historic event: an inflation-busting 9.5% pay demand was submitted by that hotbed of union militancy, the clergy of the Church of England. This is just one further indication of the economic desperation suffered by most of Britain, including the clergy, as...

Although sentiment was buoyed slightly on Tuesday by the news that shop price inflation fell to 8.4% in June, core inflation remains stubbornly high, suggesting that higher interest rates are here to stay.
