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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many and what proportion of (a) board members and (b) employees of the Regulator of Social Housing have previous experience in the sector that they regulate.

The Regulator of Social Housing has clear objectives set out in legislation, which include ensuring registered providers are financially viable, well-governed and supporting the provision of well-managed, good quality homes to their tenants. The Regulator is operationally independent and responsible for ensuring it is able to deliver against those objectives. Information on members of the Regulators board can be found here.
