The Labour Party and campaigners have claimed that reforms to end no-fault evictions are at risk as the Government has bowed to pressure from Tory backbenchers to delay their implementation.
The Renters (Reform) Bill is set for its final stages in the House of Commons on Wednesday. But the Government has suggested it will delay the ban until the courts are deemed to have enough capacity to deal with new cases, prompting accusations that ministers have abandoned tenants in favour of “pro-landlord Conservative MPs”.
