Housing: Health
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of (a) newbuild housing quality and (b) housing prices on health outcomes for residents.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
Building Regulations set standards for the design and construction of buildings to ensure the safety and health of people in or about those buildings. The impacts of these standards are assessed when changes are made to individual parts of the Building Regulations and Approved Documents.
