Labour promises rapid housing action after ‘years of Tory paper promises’

Angela Rayner says party's housing recovery plan will enact reforms delayed by Tories since 2019 manifesto commitments

Labour will deliver more action on housing in the first six months of office than the Conservatives have delivered in the past six years, Angela Rayner has pledged.

Downing Street has confirmed the renters reform bill will be in the king's speech, allowing it to continue its passage through parliament when the next session opens on Tuesday.
