Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development whether he has given any consideration to implementing electrical safety checks in the private rented sector every five years.

Answer:

My officials are currently preparing a discussion paper which will seek public feedback on the role and regulation of the private rented sector going forward. Among the matters included within the paper is the possible introduction of electrical safety checks within the private rented sector. Views received as part of this process will help inform future policy on this issue.
