Can I thank Julie Morgan for bringing this debate? I don't think we talk about housing in this place anywhere near enough. If we talked about it half as much as health, we might have a healthier place. 

We've had a growth of private rented accommodation and a shortage of accommodation. The pressure is on private renters. Are we really telling people, 'Don't complain, don't object', no matter what the landlord does or how poor the accommodation is, or how many repairs remain to be done, because the landlord can use section 21 to evict you and your children? And, whilst you can try and defend it in court, the likelihood of winning is probably fairly low.
