Multiple Occupation: Licensing
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government with reference to her answer of 28 January 2008, Official Report, column 119W, on multiple occupation: licensing, for what reasons her Department has no plans to establish a central record of offences committed under mandatory licensing of houses in multiple occupation.
- Answer
-
Implementation of the houses in multiple occupation (HMO) licensing provisions, including enforcement action, is conducted at a local level. Local authorities are under a statutory duty to prosecute those landlords that do not comply with the legislation, and therefore there is no formal role for central Government in this process.
