Housing Bill: Tories aren't the only party whose MPs are landlords

On Tuesday 12 January, Tory MPs voted against an amendment to force landlords to ensure their properties are fit for human habitation. The amendment, brought forward by the Labour party, was defeated by a House of Commons vote by 312 votes to 219.

The move to make sure landlords keep their properties up to a liveable standard, such as not allowing mould to set in, was overwhelmingly rejected by the Conservatives, with not a single MP in the party who voted agreeing with the motion.

It later emerged 72 of the Tory MPs who voted against the motion were landlord themselves. Overall, there are 95 Tory MPs were currently make at least £10,000 ($14,000) additional income from renting out property – nearly 30% of the total number of Conservative politicians – according to register of members' financial interests.

The other parties also have several MPs who make at least £10,000 a year as a landlord, including 25 from Labour and seven from the SNP.

Below is a list of all other party MPs who registered themselves as receiving at least £10,000 a year as a landlord, as well as how they voted in the Housing and Planning Bill amendment vote.
