Ms Long-Bailey added: "Whilst I appreciate that the government wants to consult on the final form of these regulations, I can't stress enough that they must include the provisions set out by the Awaab's Law campaign in setting clear minimum safety standards, clear minimum timeframes for the remedying of any hazards found and an urgent priority move if the property is found to be unsafe.
She added: "I know that I'm not alone in saying that I was deeply shocked by the tragic death of Awaab Ishak. The death of a child is always heartbreaking and for it to have been entirely preventable makes it even more devastating. He said: "Awaab Ishak's untimely death from prolonged exposure to mould in the house his parents rented from RBH should never have occurred, and the fact it did - frankly, madam deputy speaker, shames our country.
