LICENSING OF HOUSES IN MULTIPLE OCCUPATION

Early day motion 19, tabled 20 June 2001 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 221 members.

That this House welcomes the Houses in Multiple Occuation (Registration Scheme) Bill introduced in the last Parliament by a cross-party group of honourable Members from the All-Party Warm Homes Group; notes that this would require the establishment of a licensing and registration scheme for houses in multiple occupation which would include requirements for energy efficiency; notes too that it is essential to deal with houses in multiple occupation in order to end fuel poverty and reduce wastage of energy; and therefore hopes that such a registration scheme will be established as a matter of urgency.
