Business of the House

Andrew Rosindell Excerpts

Thursday 26th March 2026 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Rosindell (Romford) (Reform)]

This week, I was shocked to hear about the unacceptable living conditions that my constituents are enduring at Haynes Park Court in Hornchurch. Leaseholders and tenants paying substantial service charges report rat infestations, black mould, damp and water leaks, alongside concerns about antisocial behaviour throughout the estate. Despite repeated attempts to engage with the managing company, London and Quadrant, about these issues, residents feel ignored, neglected and completely let down. Does the Leader of the House agree that housing associations like L&Q must be held to account? Will he make time for a debate on improving living conditions for my constituents and others who are facing similarly appalling conditions at the hands of housing associations that are failing in their duty to local residents?

[Sir Alan Campbell]

Housing associations are required to deliver on the regulatory standards set out by the social housing regulator. Referrals can be made to the regulator where there are concerns that registered providers are not delivering on the proper standards, but I will make sure that the relevant Minister hears the hon. Member’s concerns.
