Housing: Standards

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many homes are classified as non-decent by (a) age and (b) tenure type in (i) Luton South constituency, (ii) Bedfordshire, and (iii) England.

Answer

Everyone deserves to live in a safe and decent home. This is why we are introducing a Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector for the first time through the Renters (Reform) Bill.

We are also reviewing the Decent Homes Standard, which sets out the minimum requirements for all social housing.

Data on housing decency is published regularly via the English Housing Survey at local authority level.
