Michael Gove says social housing tenants should get 'peace of mind' as Awaab's Law becomes a reality. The housing secretary met with Awaab Ishak's family in Rochdale today (February 9) to discuss plans to change the law in the toddler's memory.
Awaab died aged just two in December 2020 following prolonged exposure to mould. The Manchester Evening News has been calling for Awaab's Law over recent months, and now the government is amending a Bill in Parliament to meet much of the campaign's demands.
"I want to thank Awaab's family," Mr Gove told the M.E.N. "Nothing can make up for the loss of a child and their grief is unimaginable. But their bravery, their courage, has made a difference.
