Rogue social housing landlords could be forced to repair mouldy homes within 24 hours as part of government proposals after a toddler’s death.
Mr Gove said the toddler’s death from a respiratory condition caused by the mould in his family home run by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) “should never have happened”.

Housing campaigner Mr Tweneboa said: "Many families across the country are still living in homes with damp and mould, creating misery but more worryingly risks (to) their health and safety.
Speaking at the time, Coroner Joanne Kearsley said the housing association was not “proactive” and asked: “How in the UK in 2020 does a two-year-old child die as a result of exposure to mould?”
