Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, by what date his Department plans to publish its white paper on proposals for reform of the private rented sector.

The Government remains committed to building back fairer and delivering a better deal for renters. We will publish a White Paper that will set out a package of reforms to create a fairer private rented sector this spring.

We are undertaking robust and structured engagement with stakeholders to inform our plans, while also learning from the pandemic’s impact on the sector.
