  1. HMO planning consent: debate in Parliament

    On 4 November, MPs debated planning consent for houses in multiple occupation (HMO) in Parliament.

    This was a Westminster Hall debate led by Steve Yemm MP. Housing Minister Samantha Dixon MP responded on behalf of the Government.

    Explainer

    Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.

    See our visual explainer on how these debates work.
