Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when the results and Government response to the public consultation on extending the database of rogue landlords and property agents will be published; and what assessment he has made of the potential merits of making that database available to the public.

The Government has previously consulted on reforming the Database, including on widening access and scope of the Database. We are reviewing next steps in light of our work exploring a national landlord register. We will publish a White Paper this year that will set out our proposals for reform of the private rented sector.
