The Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities, Michael Gove, has threatened to cut off the funding to failing housing associations in the wake of the death of Awaab Ishak.
Awaab, who was 2 years old, died in December 2020 and at an inquest last week a coroner ruled that his death had been as a direct result of prolonged exposure to damp and mould in the family’s home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
