It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Mark. I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham Edgbaston on securing this important debate and thank her for the work she has already done to tackle the poor quality of supported accommodation schemes in her constituency. Housing is a priority for this Government. We are already committed to building 1.5 million new homes, and that will include good-quality supported housing to ensure that residents have the right home to meet their needs. However, as we have heard, we need to make sure that the supported housing that already exists is delivering good outcomes for its residents. I am determined to tackle the problems discussed in today's debate. My hon. Friend highlighted the many serious issues and suffering caused by poor-quality supported housing where residents receive little or no support and landlords charge huge rents paid for by the taxpayer, with local authorities lacking the powers to challenge that. Of course, we are not speaking about all providers; the majority do a fantastic job supporting their residents to live fulfilling and independent lives. However, in the worst examples there are harrowing stories of residents being left with no support at all, criminal gangs taking advantage of vulnerable residents, women fleeing domestic violence housed with sex offenders, lack of support, criminality, and dangerous situations for residents put into accommodation by landlords who do not care about them. Poor-quality, expensive and ineffective supported housing was first highlighted in Birmingham in 2018; the Government tested ways to increase oversight through the supported housing oversight pilot, followed by SHIP, but my hon. Friend said that these schemes fell short of action needed. Over 2,400 properties have been inspected, over 8,000 reviews undertaken, and over 9,400 benefit reassessments carried out. My hon. Friend asked about further funding for SHIP, which is a matter for the spending review. I commend colleagues on getting the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 on to the statute books; it will equip local authorities to go further and put an end to this problem. The data position is improving, with an initial research phase looking at supported housing in Great Britain published soon. The Government intend to address these issues through the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act, implementing measures as soon as possible. Work on appointing the supported housing advisory panel will resume; a consultation on national standards and plans for a licensing regime will be published as soon as possible. Local supported housing strategies are another vital part of the Act; work is progressing with guidance needed from local authorities and other stakeholders. A licensing regime will give local authorities control over who delivers supported housing, intervene when things are not right, and ensure only good-quality housing operates. The Government want to implement these changes carefully to avoid unintended impacts on supply of good supported housing. They will consult statutory consultees and wider stakeholders. I am grateful for my hon. Friend's desire to see action taken at pace; we have been working with officials in the Department to make progress as quickly as possible while avoiding unintended consequences. We must ensure that providers are doing the right thing and set out what residents should expect from their accommodation, aligned with work on defining 'care, support and supervision'. The reforms must be implemented with care to ensure good providers are not overburdened by bureaucracy or costs of obtaining a supported housing licence. In conclusion, I thank my hon. Friend for securing today's debate; her campaigning will benefit people up and down the country because she is going to make a significant difference to people's lives. The Government are determined to take action to put an end to this problem that has blighted communities and put vulnerable people at risk of harm.
