This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rachel Maclean said the government was committed to the Renters Reform Bill and she hoped it would make progress in Parliament soon.
The legislation was introduced in Parliament in May but no date has been set for its second reading, when MPs get a chance to debate the bill.
On Sunday, Housing Secretary Michael Gove told a fringe event at the Conservative Party conference the bill should have its second reading in the autumn.
Speaking at a fringe event on Monday, hosted by the Bright Blue think tank and the National Residential Landlords Association, Ms Maclean said a lot of people had suggested to her that the Renters Reform Bill was “not Conservative” and no Tory supporters would vote for it.
Under the current version of the bill, landlords will still be able to evict tenants in certain circumstances, including when they wish to sell the property or when they or a close family member want to move in, after six months.
Opponents of the bill need to explain why the worst landlords should be allowed to continue to bully and mistreat their tenants."
