The Home Office cannot show that this policy has reduced illegal immigration, nor that it improves enforcement, but it has created fear, suspicion, and exclusion in housing, with no clear reason why. It has divided communities and made racism easier to justify for those who want to justify it. I have spent my life working in local government, dealing with housing, real families and real issues, as has the Minister, and I can tell you this. When people have a safe, stable home, they can thrive. They can contribute, and they belong. Right to rent does the exact opposite, and it should be repealed—if not now, when? I beg to move.
