The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the performance of the Housing Regulator in meeting its KPIs on i) Driving improvement, ii) Maintaining confidence, iii) Working with others and iv) building the organisation.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

My Department has not itself assessed the adequacy of the RSH’s performance in meeting its KPIs.

The RSH publishes its performance framework and reports annually on key performance indicators through its Corporate Plan and Annual Report and Accounts.

My Department monitors the RSH’s performance through regular Accounting Officer meetings.
