Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Luke Myer and Angela Rayner

Monday 14th July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Angela Rayner]

As set out in the terms of reference, the independent working group will submit its findings to Ministers. We will then consider its recommendations and set out the next steps. I urge Members to let the independent group get on with its work. If the shadow Secretary of State has views, he should feed them in as part of the call for evidence.

[Luke Myer (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland) (Lab)]

T5.   Residents in parts of East Cleveland are rightly sick of unscrupulous landlords dumping individuals with serious criminal histories in our villages. Will the Department support my call for the council to introduce selective licensing in the area, and what further support can the Secretary of State offer to help us take back control of our villages?
