Social Housing, Decent Homes And Housing Benefit

EDM number 1259 in 2008-09, proposed by Chris Ruane on 01/04/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Private rented housing.

That this House is deeply concerned by the very poor quality of housing in parts of the privately-rented sector, as evidenced by the recent Rugg review, where damp and poorly insulated properties are a major contributor to health inequality and child poverty in this country; notes that this can be a particular problem in homes of multiple occupancy such as in seaside towns as well as in cities where prices are high but incomes are low; commends the Government for committing to raising all social housing to the decent homes standard; and urges the Government to do the same for privately-rented housing by refusing to pay housing benefit and local housing allowance for substandard properties.

This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
