Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

Last week, over 100 of my constituents received a letter saying that the building they were living in was going to be sold and that they would have to move in the new year—this being in winter in Scotland and during Edinburgh’s housing crisis. I understand that, following meetings with me and a big backlash from local residents, that move has been postponed, but people do not know for how long, or what their situation is. Will the Leader of the House make time for a debate about protecting people and giving them assurance in their homes, and will he work with the Scottish Government, because, of course, housing policy is devolved in Scotland?
