Under Secretary of State for Rough Sleeping and Housing writes to Grenfell survivors
Parliamentary under secretary of state for rough sleeping and housing, Eddie Hughes MP has written to the survivors and bereaved families of Grenfell, and those who live nearby to confirm commitments to the promises that were made following the fire.
The letter follows conversations had in May 2022 with bereaved and survivor families and local residents, with former secretary of state Michael Gove MP and Eddie Hughes MP. The letter also introduces the new secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities, Greg Clark.
The letter commits to reforming the private renting sector, improving social housing conditions and protecting leaseholders from unfair building safety bills.
In the letter, Hughes answers some questions that were raised in the meeting in May, including on the culture and responsibility of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Hughes explained that there have been changes at the council, but the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities are remaining in discussion with the council.
Other topics included corruption, justice and community engagement.
