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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the recommendations of the report entitled Housing Association Service Charges Abuse published by the Social Housing Action Campaign in July 2023.

The Government welcomes the report from the Social Housing Action Campaign on housing association service charges. We believe that any charges to leaseholders and social housing tenants should be transparent and communicated effectively, and there should be a clear route to challenge them if things go wrong.
