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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what guidance his Department has issued on house movings in houses in multiple occupation during the covid-19 outbreak.

There is no prohibition on moving home and anyone in England who wishes to move home can do so, including into houses in multiple occupation. Guidance on moving home is available on the GOV.uk website at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/government-advice-on-home-moving-during-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak.This guidance provides important public health information to ensure that the process of moving home and key activities around this, such as viewing property, can happen safely and the risk of spreading coronavirus is minimised.
