Mr Lee Dillon

Liberal Democrat — Newbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2025

Debate

Renters’ Rights Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend is talking about second homes, which can particularly affect rural communities. Schedule 1 provides mandatory grounds to recover possession in order to house an agricultural worker, but does he agree that the definition of “agricultural worker” is limited and does not reflect rural workers—for example, those who work in the horse training industry in the village of Lambourn in my constituency, where local housing is key to that industry given the nature and the hours of the work of stable staff?
