Lord Greenhalgh (Con)
The Government do recognise the issue that the noble Lord describes. That is why in this Session we are bringing forward a private renters’ Bill and applying the decent homes standard to the private rented sector so we can raise the quality of the stock. However, we also recognise that we need to bring in more affordable housing, including more social housing.
The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)
My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Thomas of Winchester, will now make a virtual contribution.
Baroness Thomas of Winchester (LD) [V]
My Lords, what action are the Government taking to address the need for more accessible housing, and when can we expect a response to the consultation on raising accessible housing standards?
The Lord Speaker (Lord McFall of Alcluith)
The noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours, will ask the next Oral Question virtually.
