happening all over the country,” he told the Commons. “The majority of these
nuisances are social housing tenants who show no respect to the vast majority

very difficult to evict nuisance tenants.”Mr Anderson said he wanted police
forces, councils and the courts to be greater eviction powers to allow “decent
