MPS’ renters pet call

CONSERVATIVE MPS have urged the Government to allow renters to keep pets in their homes.

Vet and Tory MP Dr Neil Hudson stressed keeping animals was important to help people with their mental health, and suggested renting should not be a barrier to pet ownership. The Penrith and the Border MP said “I know the importance of people to have animals in accommodation.”

Dr Hudson made the call as MPS discussed a private member’s bill aimed at creating greater regulation of supported housing aimed at vulnerable people.
