Mortgage Possessions (Protection of Tenants etc) Bill
Private members' bill (ballot bill) introduced by Brian Iddon MP
A pdf of the latest version of the bill and explanatory note are available.
The bill aims to "protect persons whose tenancies are not binding on mortgages and to require mortgagees to give notice of the proposed execution of possession orders".
As Dr Iddon was the first to be drawn in the private member's bill ballot, this bill will take priority over the other private member's bills introduced this session. The government are supporting this bill, and so it has a good chance of getting onto the statute book.
We have briefed Dr Iddon direct on the bill, and distributed briefing note to relevant MPs in advance of the bill's second reading. More information for members on this bill is also within our policy section.
