Housing association that rented out mould-ridden flat to Awaab Ishak's family to be stripped of £1m extra funding
BBC North West Tonight
"Let this be a warning to other housing providers who are ignoring complaints and failing in their obligations," he said. Asked if the organisation should still be operating at all, he said: "I'm going to talk to them later today. I've had conversations already with the chair of the organisation and conversations with the outgoing chief executive and I want to see the situation on the ground."Mr Gove met bosses at RBH earlier this month after a coroner ruled Awaab died from a respiratory condition caused by mould in his home.
The government has also announced a share of £14m for seven areas with high numbers of poor, privately-rented homes to crack down on rogue landlords and drive up standards.
