A consultation paper was published today by HM Treasury setting out the intention (with supporting draft legislation) for the Financial Policy Committee to be given the power to direct the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority to restrict institutions' mortgage lending with reference to loan-to-value and debt-to-income limits: see here (pdf). This would apply to owner occupied mortgages; the extent to which such limits should apply to buy-to-let mortgages will be the subject of a separate consultation next year.
