Written question asked by Baroness Deech (Crossbench) on Monday, 4 July 2022, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 18 July 2022. It was answered by Baroness Stedman-Scott (Conservative) on Tuesday, 12 July 2022 on behalf of the Women and Equalities.


Housing: Disability

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Stedman-Scott on 21 June (HL Deb col 52GC), when they will conclude their analysis of the responses to their consultation on section 36 of the Equality Act 2010 relating to reasonable adjustments to common parts of leasehold homes; and when that section will be commenced.

Answer

This consultation will end on 18 August, after which analysis of the responses will take a number of weeks, and then regulations needed prior to commencement will be prepared. I would expect commencement of the legislation on or after October 2023, given the time required for the regulations and issue of guidance for landlords, tenants and other involved parties.
