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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to publish his response to the consultation entitled A Decent Homes Standard in the private rented sector, published on 2 September 2023; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the Hon. Member to answers given at Oral Parliamentary Questions (Official Report, HC, Volume 730) on 27 March 2023 and to the White Paper, A Fairer Private Rented Sector, published online and available on gov.uk. We are currently analysing the response to the Decent Homes Standard consultation and will respond in due course.
