Housing: Overcrowding
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to take steps he has help reduce the level of household overcrowding among UK households of (a) Bangladeshi and (b) Pakistani heritage.
- Answer
-
Local authorities have a wide range of powers to require landlords to remedy serious hazards, including overcrowding, in privately rented homes, and our forthcoming reforms to the private rented sector will strengthen these powers.
We are carefully analysing the responses to the consultation, and any subsequent changes in policy will be confirmed when the Framework is updated in due course. The proposals in the consultation are not, at this time, government policy.
