Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many homes have been identified as unfit for human habitation by local authorities for each constituency in the last five years.
The department publishes annual statistics on the number of homes with a Housing health and safety rating system (HHSRS) Category 1 hazard in each local authority. These are dwellings where this has been raised by a tenant with the local authority. A table containing the most recent data (for 2016/17) can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/local-authority-housing-statistics-data-returns-for-2016-to-2017
