Renters reform: Gove caves in to Conservative MPs as manifesto promise left in tatters
Responding to the reports in The Sun that a promised ban on no-fault evictions will no longer apply to all tenants in time for a general election, Liberal Democrat Housing Spokesperson Helen Morgan MP said:
"Michael Gove has caved in to Conservative MPs, meaning his party's manifesto promise to ban no-fault evictions has been left in tatters.
"This watered down plan means the vast majority of renters still face being evicted from their homes through no fault of their own.
"The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting to stand up for a fair deal for renters who have been disastrously let down by this Conservative government."
