Housing: Disability

Asked by Laura Kyrke-SmithLabourMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 9 October 2024UIN 7354

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an estimate of the number and proportion of disability-accessible housing in Aylesbury constituency; and what steps she is taking to increase the proportion of such housing in that constituency.

Answered by Rushanara Ali

The data requested is not held centrally although the English Housing Survey does collect data on accessibility and adaptations within the home. Housing is one of this Government’s top priorities, everyone deserves to live in a decent home, in which they feel safe. We will set out our policies on accessible new build housing shortly.
