Gove questioned on housing conditions at DLUHC committee

On Monday afternoon, secretary of State for levelling up, housing and communities Michael Gove was questioned by the DLUHC select committee on housing conditions.

Commenting on the case of Awaab Ishak, a toddler who died from a respiratory condition caused by exposure to mould in his family’s flat, Gove said: “as Awaab Ishak’s case reminds us, there are far too many who are living in conditions that are that are not decent”.
