According to your draft Housing Strategy, the GLA's Housing Moves scheme has moved over 1,000 social housing tenants to different homes across London since 2012. How effective is this scheme in reducing overcrowding in London?

Unequal access to housing experienced by women

  • Reference: 2018/0123
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
I am disappointed that your draft Housing Strategy does not mention the inequalities experienced by women in London and how this can affect their ability to access decent housing. In answer to my question 2016/1585 in May 2016 you agreed to meet me to discuss how these experiences could be taken into consideration when developing the definition of the London Living Rent. It is now January 2018 and you have not met me to discuss this further. What is your explanation for not giving attention to this important issue?
