§ 21. Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to introduce licences for private landlords. [157202]
Mr. Robert AinsworthWe set out in the Housing Green Paper, "Quality and choice: a decent home for all", a proposal to introduce licensing of the whole private rented sector in limited areas of low demand for housing in England. Following a positive response, we intend to consult further later this year.
