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

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to offer tenancies to former tenants of Grenfell Tower who had unlawfully sublet their flats at a profit to persons not entitled to social housing.

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have given a commitment that all households who were living in Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk immediately before the fire will be offered a lifetime tenancy in social housing. The Government is supporting the council to deliver this commitment. This includes all those who were resident in Grenfell Tower at the time of the tragedy and recognises the exceptional circumstances they faced.
