We ask the Government to introduce legislation preventing sitting MPs from being residential landlords. We believe MPs who profit from rental income are in a conflict of interest when voting on housing, rent, and tenant legislation, which may undermine public trust and fair representation.

Ban family houses from being converted into Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs)
Introduce legislation to prevent property developers & private landlords from converting family homes into HMOs, especially ex-council homes. We think that there is already a dearth of family homes for low-income working families, & by converting them into HMOs, the situation is being made worse.
Ban MPs from having second jobs except in NHS
MPs should not have other jobs outside of Parliament unless they are qualified doctors, nurses or other healthcare professionals and actively work in the NHS
Ban MPs from accepting any gifts or donations from businesses and individuals
Politicians are lawmakers and should be held to the highest standards of integrity. Yet MPs are currently allowed to accept gifts, hospitality, and donations from businesses and individuals. We think that even when declared, this can create a clear conflict of interest and undermine public trust.
Prevent people convicted of serious crimes standing or serving as MPs
Ban anyone who has ever been convicted of serious offences (such as sex offences against children, terrorism, serious fraud, corruption, violent crimes) including foreign convictions and given a custodial or suspended sentence from standing for or serving as an MP; when appeals have been exhausted.
Legislate to allow landlords to sell properties directly to government
We call on the Government to introduce new legislation to allow landlords to sell tenanted properties directly to the government, so tenants are not made homeless.
