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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment his Department has made of trends in the prevalence of damp and mould in social housing in (a) Selby and Ainsty constituency and (b) North Yorkshire.

We assess levels of damp by tenure through the English Housing Survey, which can be found at English Housing Survey - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). The Regulator of Social Housing also published information on damp and mould in social housing, in February 2023.

I also refer the Hon Member to the answers to Question UIN 181418 on 24 April 2023, and Questions UIN 185446 and UIN 185074 on 22 May 2023.
