It is clear that some landlords are rowing back on tenancy agreements and contracts, and making tenants homeless or forcing them to search for a new place in a marketplace where none is available. While most landlords behave responsibly, tenants' rights need to be protected and enhanced. I hope the landlord and tenants Bill will give more clarity and clearer guidelines. When will the Bill be published? There is even greater urgency given the recent homeless figures. I know the Minister will talk about the situation in respect of homelessness and housing tomorrow. Can we have a debate on that as well?
