Housing: Contracts

Asked by Shivani RajaConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 4 June 2025UIN 54068

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the terms (a) Bed Space Size and (b) Bed space in public sector accommodation contracts refer to the number of individuals a room or property is intended to accommodate.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Each department is responsible for specifying its own contract requirements, so the meaning of “Bed Space Size” and “Bed space" may vary based on the criteria established by each department.
