Hundreds of thousands of children live in cold, damp or mouldy homes, research shows today.
In the latest grim study to highlight the plight of youngsters in the cost-of-living crisis, the Citizens Advice study says 1.6 million kids in England live in such accommodation in private rented homes.
Analysts found 30% of renters cannot heat their home to a comfortable temperature - increasing to 45% of disabled tenants.
