The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, and the home secretary, Suella Braverman, are among five cabinet ministers who earn at least £10,000 a year renting out housing, according to a new snapshot of parliament’s landlords.
In all, 68 Conservative MPs – nearly one in five – are currently landlords, according to research by a campaign group, 38 Degrees, provoking calls for ministers finally to implement a 2019 government promise to reform private renting by scrapping no-fault evictions and improving tenants’ rights.
