motion_title: Opposition Day: Mortgage and Rental Costs
motion_text: Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 31(2)), That the proposed words be there added.
  The House divided: Ayes 283, Noes 198.
  Amendment:
  I beg to move an amendment, to leave out from “House” to the end of the Question and add:
  “welcomes the Government’s drive to halve inflation, grow the economy and reduce debt; particularly welcomes the Government’s new Mortgage Charter which has been agreed by 85 per cent of the residential mortgage market and will provide support to mortgage holders through new commitments and flexibilities to help borrowers who are anxious about rising interest rates; notes the extensive package of cost of living support to help families with rising prices, worth an average of £3,300 per household including direct cash payments to the eight million most vulnerable households; and further believes that Labour’s policies to manage the economy would be inflationary, lead to higher interest rates and put more pressure on mortgage holders and renters.”
