Landlords aren’t leaving the market in droves, a Conservative housing minister has admitted.
Rachel Maclean MP, the 15th housing minister since the Conservatives came to power, said the narrative that landlords are leaving the market because of new regulations is “wrong” – despite MPs in her own department peddling similar fears.
“Will I challenge that narrative? The answer is yes, the narrative is wrong,” Maclean said at an event on Tuesday in Westminster.
