To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions his Department has had with (a) Gateway Housing Association, (b) Tower Hamlets Council and (c) Swan Housing Association on the welfare needs of people who have been displaced as result of the crane collapse on 9 July 2020 at the Swan Housing Association’s Watts Grove development site in Bow.

Asked by:
Apsana Begum (Independent)

The Department has not been approached by either Gateway Housing, Tower Hamlets Council or Swan Housing Association regarding localised support for displaced residents. We will provide support to any residents who have been affected and are working with local agencies to coordinate our services and ensure people are able to access the help they need.
