9 Sept 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1154)

Naushabah Khan, Labour MP for Gillingham and Rainham.

Dame Judith, the Grenfell Tower inquiry recommended introducing a new regulator to help to fix a “complex and fragmented” regulatory regime. How far do you think the regulation of building control has come since then?

A final question from me. As you obviously know, the current strategic plan expires in 2026. Will the new strategic plan consider revisions to the definition of a higher-risk building?

Just a couple more questions from me. Andy, you originally said that the BSR needs to “evolve and improve” its processes. Could you elaborate on that a little?

I have a couple of questions about the strategic direction of the BSR. You have touched on this already, but what are the key areas of focus for the regulator in the short, medium and longer term?

37
2 Sept 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1254)

This question is open to anybody who wants to come in. What impact would the ability to assess applications on an organisation-by-organisation basis have on the BSR’s resources?

2 Sept 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1254)

I am happy for anyone else on the panel to comment on this as well, but on the resourcing side, you can obviously fix a problem at one end by getting more resource in, but my understanding—I am very happy to be corrected—is that there is a pipeline issue with, for example, not enough surveyors and so on coming in throu

20 Jul 2025 Independent Water Commission

I thank the Secretary of State for everything he is doing to transform water companies across our country. My residents in Gillingham and Rainham have suffered astronomical hikes in their bills and have been exposed to pollution and sewage dumps in our water, yet the chief executive of Southern Water thinks that he des

Thank you. I appreciate what you are saying about that localised approach; as a former councillor, I recognise the value of that. However, what support will be given to councils to navigate that? At the minute, it feels like the system is a case of grab what you can get. It does not seem to be working, and it leads to

8 Jul 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 983)

I want to go back to temporary accommodation, specifically looking at procurement. Obviously, we understand as a Committee that the Ministry is still in live policy development around the issue in respect of how to carry out the recommendations that were made by the Office for Value for Money study on the procurement o

Do you think it is enough, given the immediate crisis?

8 Jul 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 983)

You mentioned children. We all know that the record number of children who are classified as homeless and are living in temporary accommodation needs to be addressed urgently. Is any specific work being done in that area?

8 Jul 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 983)

I think we have mentioned this in the Committee, but it feels like the live policy development phase has dragged on for a bit too long. What is still being negotiated that is preventing the Ministry from acting urgently on the crisis?

17 Jun 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 980)

Can I just come back on that though? I appreciate what you say, but I think it is slightly disingenuous to suggest that people do not understand service charges if they are not provided with clear breakdowns in the first place or it is set out clearly what they are paying for. Most people are able to make sense of a se

17 Jun 2025Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 980)

I just wanted to unpick that a little further. Obviously, we have the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 coming forward, and I appreciate the calls for regulators, which is really helpful to understand. But prior to that, is there anything else that we need to be building into this system? Because of course you rea

That is a shocking figure of 94%.
