Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if his Department will undertake an impact assessment of the effect on the community in Liverpool of the mandatory HMO licensing scheme.
Through HMO licensing the Government is improving living conditions and overcrowding for many people.
The Government carried out an impact assessment on mandatory licensing for the whole of England when it was extended on 1 October 2018. There are no plans for Government to undertake an impact assessment of the effect on the community in Liverpool.
