The Renters Rights Bill will not become law until the early autumn – and that’s official.
The Leader of the House of Commons, Lucy Powell MP, has not scheduled any time for MPs to debate the issue next week, before they break for their summer recess on Wednesday.
It’s been reported that Powell has instead scheduled consideration of amendments to the Bill for September 8, a week after MPs return from their summer break.
The Lords will still continue with its scheduled Third Reading of the Bill on Monday of next week, but that is now expected to be a brief debate, leaving more detailed consideration of the many amendments already suggested by Peers until the Bill returns to the Commons after the summer.
It’s likely that Royal Assent for the Bill will now happen before the Commons breaks up for yet another recess on September 16, when politicians head for their party conferences.
