  "The share of dwellings in England that fail the Decent Homes Standard, and the share with any damp problem (rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation and mould), as Annex Tables 1.4 and 1.9 of the English Housing Survey's headline report on housing quality give them: from the English House Condition Survey's dwelling sample to 2007 and the English Housing Survey's from 2008.",
  "Surveyors could not inspect homes inside during the pandemic, so MHCLG modelled its 2020 and 2021 figures and marks 2020 '(R)'; it did not collect the kinds of damp from 2020 to 2022, though it gives all damp problems. MHCLG's ways of rating energy efficiency changed in 2010, 2013 and 2018, which bears on the Decent Homes Standard's thermal comfort test."
