Private Rented Sector White Paper
"Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker.
“Being a new and first time mum is hard and challenging without having your foundations stripped from you, evicted with no warning, in the middle of winter, when other rent is hard to secure”.

Written Question
Monday 16th May 2022
Asked by:
Florence Eshalomi (Labour (Co-op) - Vauxhall and Camberwell Green)
Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking to help improve standards in the social rental sector.
Answered by Eddie Hughes
This Government has set an ambitious mission to halve the number of non-decent homes and drive up standards in all rented sectors by 2030 - with the biggest improvements in the lowest-performing areas.
I was delighted that the Queen's Speech confirmed we will bring forward a Social Housing Regulation Bill.
The Bill will create a strong and proactive consumer regulation regime that will drive up standards in social housing and help tenants and the Regulator hold landlords to account.

Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme
"I want to go back to the Secretary of State’s point when he highlighted that over 14,000 Afghan refugees are still in hotels, including hotels in my constituency of Vauxhall—accommodation that, frankly, is unsuitable for people suffering long-term trauma and people fleeing war. I was not quite sure what the …..."Florence Eshalomi - View Speech
