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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2018 to Question 178312 on Regulator of Social Housing: Public Appointments, whether the recruitment campaign to strengthen the Board of the Regulator of Social Housing has resulted in the appointment of any tenants in the last six months.

We are currently looking to recruit up to three new members to the Board of the Regulator of Social Housing. We have identified that one of these posts should be filled by someone with significant senior level experience of operating in a customer facing environment (ideally in social housing). As set out in the Social Housing Green Paper, we want to ensure that the Board has the right level of experience and skills to ensure landlords deliver a better standard of service to their tenants.
