The Renters (Reform) Bill was introduced on 17 May 2023. Ahead of introduction, we undertook comprehensive consultation with stakeholders from across the sector and published the 'A Fairer Private Rented Sector' white paper which outlined our reforms. The Bill will undergo legislative scrutiny during its passage through Parliament and we will continue to work closely with stakeholders.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
A document issued by the Government laying out its policy, or proposed policy, on a topic of current concern.Although a white paper may occasion consultation as to the details of new legislation, it does signify a clear intention on the part of a government to pass new law. This is a contrast with green papers, which are issued less frequently, are more open-ended and may merely propose a strategy to be implemented in the details of other legislation.
