The Social Housing Regulation Bill is currently going through Parliament, and if approved it would bring back regulation on consumer standards for social housing. The M.E.N. calls on all MPs and peers to support Bill and strengthen it, by including Ofsted-style inspections at short notice and increased professionalisation of housing management to improve the experience of tenants, including those living with damp and mould.
"I'm not looking to delay, I just want to make sure that the spirit of Awaab's Law and where possible the letter of Awaab's Law is written into our statute book as quickly as possible. We're looking at exactly how we can do that.
