Should EICR be mandatory for all social housing in England?


Should EICR be mandatory for all social housing in England?
Some things to note might be
 (PRS) Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 required an EICR every 5 years OR change of tenancy.  I think most people forget the change of tenancy part.

Moving forward a lot of EICRs should now start to be expiring thus a new one will need to be issued after an Inspect and Test.

There have been noted cases when local councils have not done EICRs
