Clause 8 - Clause Guidance about inspections and enforcement action
Housing Bill
10:30 am
Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman is making a convincing case. His argument will be made more convincing if he accepts my suggestion to link it to the new draft guidance, which refers to the hazard of fire. Shockingly, although the incidence of fire is relatively small, the possible health outcomes are profoundly worrying, particularly in older properties and for older occupants. That is made clear in the table on page 195 of the guidance, which makes a strong case in support of his amendment.
