Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the working party considering mandatory electrical safety checks in social housing will report.
In the Charter for Social Housing Residents – Social Housing White Paper, we committed to consult on measures to ensure that social housing residents are protected from harm caused by poor electrical safety. Subsequently, we committed to form an official-led stakeholder working group to inform the content of that consultation.
The Electrical Safety Working Group is underway and will report in due course.
