Proposed Affordable Housing LCO

Consultation Response: Nationwide

Attn: Gareth Williams.

We are in receipt of your letter of the 17th December with notes.

From our perspective as the major Lender to RSL's in the UK, we have no objections to the proposal, but would comment that this does not negate the need to find more funding and resource to increase the supply of all affordable housing, particularly in rural areas.

Regards

Keith Reeve
Chief Manager
