I welcome much of what Professor Drudy says about the massive increase in the private rented sector and the problems that it has caused. We should not get stuck on terminology. We have always used the term "rent controls". I have been calling for rent controls for a few years. Professor Drudy was objecting to it, but the term is used that way in Europe as well.
