§ 13. Dr. NaysmithTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister what his policy is under his Department's Decent Homes guidance with regard to local authority decisions on whether to keep prefabricated housing. [139319]
§ Keith HillThere are no types of building that are automatically considered to fail the decent homes standard just because of their construction. Prefabricated homes are as acceptable as other types of dwelling if they meet the requirements set out in the decent homes standard.
The guidance on implementing the standard makes it clear that investment decisions should be made in the context of the local housing market and on the future demand for the stock.
