Scottish Government urged to introduce emergency rent freeze to help struggling families

Under current plans a system of controls on rental properties could be introduced in 2025, however a Labour MSP is calling for one to be put in place immediately.

The call from Katy Clark comes after National Insurance increased by 1.24 per cent today which comes on the back of the rise in the energy price cap at the end of last week.
