Over 1,300 veterans have been put at risk of homelessness due to a no-fault eviction in the time that the Conservative government has pledged to ban them, analysis shared exclusively with LBC from the Liberal Democrats suggests.

The Tories have pledged to end so-called 'no fault' Section 21 evictions since 2019, but have so far failed to do so.
