Liberal Democrats say they will use the House of Lords to
try to block a number of measures in the government's controversial Housing and
Planning Bill, which will soon enter the House of Lords for its final stages
before, if passed, coming into law. "The housing bill is riddled with
holes and unfairness," Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said. "The
government has clearly drafted a bill without consulting anyone who has lived
in or experienced the realities of social housing. Social housing is a lifeline
for thousands of people and the Conservatives seem driven by ideological dogma
to sell off these homes. The prime minister used to be vocal in his support for
social housing. His actions show now that he was merely paying lip
service." Read more on the International Business Times website.
