The campaign to establish Awaab's Law in the wake of the toddler's tragic death in a mouldy Greater Manchester flat will take a major step forward today.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has been in discussions with representatives of Awaab Ishak's family on how Awaab's Law could put on the statute books. The Manchester Evening News has been campaigning for a change in the law in the child's memory.
Amendments have now been made to the Social Housing Regulation Bill, which meet much of the Awaab's Law campaign demands. Those will be tabled today. Secretary of State Michael Gove is also visiting Awaab's family in Rochdale today (Thursday, February 9).
