Social Rented Housing: Electrical Safety

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect the Working Group on Electrical Safety in the social rented sector to commence.

Answer

In the Charter for Social Housing Residents – Social Housing White Paper published on 17 November 2020, we commit 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 the consultation.

Work is underway to set up the working group. Working group meetings will take place prior to publishing the consultation. We will announce further details including timings in due course.
