Housing

Question

Asked by Baroness Scott of Needham Market

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they intend to introduce new rules covering change of use from family homes to houses of multiple occupation.[HL1699]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Communities and Local Government (Baroness Hanham): We have sought the views of key partners on our proposals to amend the planning rules for houses in multiple occupation. Subject to consideration of their responses, our aim is to have the revised legislation in place for 1 October 2010.
