In her address at the Labour Party conference, Angela Rayner will unveil a number of initiatives aimed at improving housing standards, safeguarding tenants against moisture and mold, and flaws in fire safety.In a speech to be given on Sunday, the Deputy Prime Minister will pledge to "build homes fit for the future" and kick off Labour's first annual conference after winning the general election. The Housing Secretary, Ms. Rayner, stated before to her address that just because something isn't functioning in Britain right now, it doesn't mean it can't be mended. By providing for the working class, we shall demonstrate how politics has the power to transform lives."The housing situation is a Tory legacy for us. In addition to increasing social and affordable housing and building the housing our nation needs, this Labour Government is acting boldly to guarantee that every house is decent, safe, and warm. A new law designed to make sure landlords react quickly to reports of risks including mold and wet is anticipated to be part of the package.The proposed legislation, dubbed Awaab's law, is named for Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old who passed away from mold exposure in the Rochdale communal home his family leased. According to Labour estimates, it would help renters in 746,000 houses with known major hazards to get quicker repairs, lowering the risks to their health and safety.

Ms Rayner will speak of plans to accelerate efforts to fix unsafe cladding on high rise buildings across the UK, just weeks after the conclusion of the Grenfell Tower inquiry.

She is also expected to lay out Labour’s intention to consult on a new decent homes standard for all social and private rented homes.

The Deputy Prime Minister added: “For Labour this is not just about building houses at any cost but making houses people can call home.

“This means ending the scandalous situation where standards for existing and future tenants don’t currently even meet the minimum of safety and decency everyone should expect.

“Today Labour is committing to raising the bar on the poor standards we’ve inherited from the Tories to ensure homes are fit for the future.”

Housing charity Shelter described the Government’s proposals as “promising” steps in the right direction.

Chief executive Polly Neate added: “Making sure that homes are safe and fit for the future is vital, but the Government will never succeed in giving everyone a decent home until it invests in the genuinely affordable social homes this country needs.

“That’s why it must set a clear target for social rent homes to end the housing emergency for good.”

The Local Government Association (LGA), which represents councils in England, meanwhile, said its members need “further funding and support to raise standards in the private rented sector”.

Adam Hug, LGA housing spokesperson, said: “Councils could also do much more if they were given the right tools, such as removing the requirement for Secretary of State approval for larger selective licensing schemes.”
