WQ.315/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 30th SEPTEMBER 2024
Question
"Further to the response to a Freedom of Information request which reported that as of the 1st of August 2024, of the 8,817 rented dwelling licences that had been issued, none had been to any of the social housing providers, will the Minister confirm whether all social housing providers have now had licences issued, and if not, why not?"
Amended Answer (2nd October 2024)
As of today (2nd October 2024), social housing accounts for 37% of the total issued licences. The department does not specifically hold data regarding whether the licence was issued to a social housing provider or a private landlord. As such, the department cannot confirm for the questioner whether all social housing providers have had licences issued.
It should be noted that the department is unable to divulge specific information as we do not publish details of licence holders, and that the objective of the scheme is to licence rented dwellings and improve standards of dwellings island wide, not by a specific landlord or provider. However, I am able to share that all licences that have been applied for, have been issued. The total number of licences issued, as of 30th September 2024, is 17,525.
