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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will meet the All-Party Group on Healthy Homes and Buildings to (a) discuss the extent of the problems caused by poor quality homes and buildings and (b) assess the steps that are being taken to incentivise home providers and builders to build and retrofit to the highest standards.

The Department regularly receives correspondence on a range of issues with respect to the Building Regulations and matters relating to the indoor environment. I am aware of work that the All Party Parliamentary Group on Healthy Homes and Buildings has been doing in this area and would be happy to meet the group to discuss the issues further.
