Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the current regulation of (a) private and (b) public supported accommodation.

All supported accommodation providers must comply with their existing legal duties, including meeting the relevant standards for the quality of accommodation.

The Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 introduces new National Supported Housing Standards for the support provided, and a locally led licensing framework.

The government remains committed to implementing the measures in the Act and will publish its response to the consultation as soon as possible.
