Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
I rise to support my hon. Friend the Member for Poole. Landlords do not exactly have a duty of care, but they do have an important responsibility when dealing with HMOs, which are often occupied by vulnerable people. We have spoken a lot about help and protection for such people, and this amendment is an important precaution.
