Family could be one step closer to Awaab's Law

MPS TO DEBATE CHANGES TO HOUSING BILL IN COMMONS

- STEPHEN TOPPING

AFTER three months and the support of tens of thousands, Awaab's Law could pass its biggest hurdle today.

The Social Housing (Regulation) Bill is back in the House of Commons this afternoon.

It's the first opportunity for MPs to discuss the amendments put forward by housing secretary Michael Gove in the memory of Rochdale toddler Awaab Ishak, who died aged two following prolonged exposure to mould at his home.

Mr Gove met Awaab's parents in Rochdale last month to discuss the amendments being made following the campaign.
