RENTERS’ rights campaigners hit out at Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden today for being “disingenuous” in his assurance on when reforms to protect tenants’ rights would come into force.

The Renters (Reform) Bill had its final hearing in the Commons today, which concluded after the Morning Star went to print.

Earlier, Mr Dowden was standing in for Rishi Sunak at PMQs and was asked to give a date for when the long-promised ban on Section 21 evictions, which campaigners warn leads to homelessness, would come into force.
