Text

I thank the Minister. We understand that the Housing Executive has conducted multiple visits to non-standard accommodation following concerns about quality. As far as we are aware, however, those visits are more or less to confirm that the properties are occupied. What steps are being taken to implement regular inspections to ensure that the houses are in a good, liveable condition and of a high safety standard?
