This bill - and the rent controls & tenant protections it contains - was brought to Parliament by the Scottish Greens. I was proud to vote for it at Stage One today. Green MSPs will now work to prevent it from being weakened by hostile amendments at Stage Two.

🚨 BREAKING
🟢 Yes: 83
🔴 No: 31
The Housing Bill has passed its Stage 1 vote, bringing rent controls in Scotland another step closer!
Now as the Bill goes through Stages 2 and 3 we must fight attempts by the SNP and Labour to water it down.

Reasoned and principled amendments should not be feared as long as they are debated and voted on in good conscience.
As in such things some people will see them as constructive others as hostile.
It's the duty of MSP's to listen with an open mind.
