To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, for what reason he has not included provision in the Renters (Reform) Bill to provide landlords with access to a redress scheme for complaints against tenants, on a similar basis to the redress scheme for tenants with complaints against landlords set out in Part 2 of that Bill.

The Renters (Reform) Bill had its First Reading in the House of Commons on 17 May. I refer the Hon Member to the Written Ministerial Statement (HCWS778) and to the published guide to the Bill.

We have submitted our Impact Assessment for review by the Regulatory Policy Committee. This is a significant document and they now need time to scrutinise it. We will publish it once that process has finished. I look forward to discussing these issues during the passage of the Bill.
