Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if the Government will review housing allocation guidance to ensure that children diagnosed with conditions such as precocious puberty are supported with respect to policies that use age-based criteria for bedroom entitlement, in cases where medical evidence demonstrates a requirement for separate sleeping accommodation on grounds of privacy, dignity and wellbeing.
