To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking to help tackle the prevalence of rodents in (a) public buildings and (b) council accommodation (i) nationwide and (ii) in Romford constituency.
Everyone deserves to live and work in a decent and safe environment - one that is free from hazards such as black mould and rodents. This is why we have committed to reduce the number of non-decent rented homes by 50% by 2030.
All landlords are required to keep their homes free of category 1 hazards, as defined by the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). This includes hazards relating to mould and pests. Social landlords are also required to ensure their homes meet the requirements set out in the Decent Homes Standard.
On damp and mould, this summer, along with the Department of Health and Social Care, we issued guidance for landlords and tenants on tacking damp and mould.

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on creating healthy homes.
The Government recognises the important issue of creating healthy homes. The principles of healthy homes, as currently being debated in the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, are already being considered and addressed by existing laws, systems, policy and guidance. In line with the practice of successive administrations, details of internal discussions are not normally disclosed.

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of providing specific funding to social housing providers to eradicate damp and mould in properties.
Social housing providers must meet the Decent Homes Standard, which includes the requirement to keep properties free from dangerous damp and mould. The Government has been clear that they should be able to meet this standard based on the rent settlement (rental income across the sector exceeded £21 billion in 2021-22), and must prioritise repairs when making funding decisions. Government is also providing capital funding to help social landlords meet the costs of carrying out building safety remediation and making their homes more energy efficient, to support the delivery of new affordable housing as well as a £30 million fund for Greater Manchester and the West Midlands to support improvements in the quality of social housing in their area with a focus on damp and mould.
We are reviewing the Decent Homes Standard. We also introduced Awaab's Law into the Social Housing (Regulation) Act, committing to set strict time limits for social landlords to investigate and repair significant hazards in their homes, including damp and mould.
We will consult on the details of Awaab's Law shortly. The Government also published consolidated damp and mould guidance in September, setting out clearly for landlords and other housing professionals the health risks associated with damp and mould.

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent steps his Department has taken to develop policy relating to Investment Zones.
Since publication of the policy prospectus in March, officials have been working in partnership with the eight places in England named at Spring Budget to co-develop their Investment Zone proposals. Further guidance on the co-development process, outcomes framework and wider criteria proposals need to meet was published in the Technical Document in July.
Further to the answer to Question UIN 189556 on 22 June 2023, the Government is working with the devolved administrations to deliver Investment Zones. In Scotland, Glasgow City Region and North East of Scotland were announced as Investment Zones in June. Discussions on how Investment Zones could be delivered in Wales are on-going.

Government is committed to tackling damp and mould in rented homes. The government is reviewing the Decent Homes Standard and introducing it to the private rented sector for the first.

We committed to increasing the supply of social rented homes in the Levelling Up white paper, the £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme will deliver thousands of affordable homes for both rent and to buy, and a large number of the new homes delivered through our Affordable Homes Programme will be for social rent.
We have committed to consult on energy efficiency in the social rented sector.
