Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to publish a response to his Department's consultation A Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector.

Announcements will be set out in the usual way.

I look forward to meeting with the Hon Member imminently and working to deliver a Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector for the first time.
