To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress has been made towards publishing a formal Government response to the Older People’s Housing Taskforce report.

The government is committed to enhancing provision and choice for older people in the housing market and we will continue to consider this issue as we develop our long-term housing strategy.
As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement I made on 26 November 2024 (HCWS249), the government is giving careful consideration to the recommendations from the Older People’s Housing Taskforce report including in relation to specialist accommodation for older people.
