Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has said “far too many” homes in the UK “don’t meet a decent standard”, following the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak caused by mould in his family flat.
Mr Jenrick, who served as Housing Secretary from July 2019 to September 2021 and is now immigration minister, also said that many housing associations have become “too large” with executive pay “off the charts”.
