Clause 83 - Further sanctions relating to unlicensed
Housing Bill
3:45 pm
Ms Vera Baird (Redcar, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman makes some troubling and complex points. Would it be more straightforward if the Government considered adding two more offences to clause 82, namely an offence of trying to obtain rent while not holding a licence or an offence of trying to evict while not holding a licence? That might be a more straightforward way of dealing with the problem.
