A proposed amendment to the government's Housing and
Planning Bill which suggests landlords are required to make homes 'fit for
human habitation' may be reconsidered following the fire at Grenfell Tower. The
amendment was tabled by the Labour Party last year, but was defeated by MPs
following a vote of 312 to 219. The proposal was also included in Labour's
manifesto for the General Election. According to a report on The London Economic
website, Parliament's register of interests shows that 72 of the Conservative
MPs who voted against the amendment were themselves private landlords. Read
