No legislation for licence yet - phew!

It looks like the government have forgotten about the landlord licence for the time being.

The latest Queen speech had no specific provisions covering the private rented sector. Because any licence will need primary legislation and that no dedicated parliamentary time has been set a side it is highly unlikely that the licence will be brought in before the election.

Looks like landlords will get an opportunity to put their opposition to any compulsory register to the vote after all.

We like to think that our No.10 petition now signed by almost a thousand landlords might have played some part in putting off the government from following this ludicrous route.

I suspect it's more likely to be down to the fact that they have more urgent problems, like bailing out the bankrupt economy!
