MSPs to hear evidence on Scottish Government's Rent Freeze Bill

EMERGENCY legislation which would freeze rents and ban evictions until April will be introduced and debated in Holyrood today.

The Cost of Living (Protection of Tenants) (Scotland) Bill was announced as part of the Programme for Government last month in response to the cost of living crisis.

If MSPs vote in favour of treating the Bill as emergency legislation – which is highly likely, given the agreement between the SNP and the Scottish Greens in Parliament – an expedited process will see the first stage take place today, the second tomorrow and a final vote on Thursday.
