This is the best summary I could come up with:


The government has come under fire in recent days from campaigners who have said its bill to get rid of so-called section 21 evictions in England, whereby landlords can remove tenants for no reason, is inadequate.

However, the UK housing minister insisted in an interview on Sunday that the practice would have ended by the time of a general election, despite his previous concerns that the courts may not be able to cope.

Last year, Gove delayed the ban until after a reform of the courts was achieved, prompting accusations from the opposition that he had betrayed voters.

The cabinet minister used an interview with the Sunday Times to warn the traditional route for young people to work hard and get on the housing ladder had gone.

“It’s simply harder for us to make that case if people who’ve got broadly ‘small c’ conservative values, or actually no particular political agenda at all, feel that they’re being shut out.”

“It is shocking that this Conservative government has repeatedly chosen to delay their promised ban on no fault evictions,” said the party’s deputy leader, Daisy Cooper.
