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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the electrical safety checks requirement relating to England's social rented sector specified in the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 has been implemented; and if not, when it will be issued.

This government is committed to raising standards so that social housing tenants live in decent homes, are treated with fairness and respect and have issues resolved quickly.

A consultation on electrical safety in the social rented sector was carried out between June 2022 and August 2022 by the previous government. This government is considering the responses to the consultation and will set out next steps shortly.
