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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when he plans to bring forward legislative proposals on mandatory electrical safety checks in the private rented sector in England.

We are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to live in a home that is safe and decent. The Department recently held a public consultation on the introduction of mandatory electrical safety checks in the private rented sector. We expect to announce our next steps shortly.
