Peter King shows how the arguments in favour of central and local government control of so-called social housing do not stand up to close scrutiny. Indeed, the policy of the current government will be ineffective in pursuing the government's own aims. Instead, Peter King shows how directing subsidies through the consumers of housing can achieve better housing without political control.
