Today, the report was on the subject of landlords being able to evict tenants for not paying rent.
A temporary halt on eviction proceedings was brought in at the height of the pandemic but it is due to end this Sunday.
There is currently increased pressure on the government to make a U-turn on the plans.

David, from High Wycombe, was interviewed by BBC News.
He lost his job during the pandemic and is now subsequently worried about his future as the temporary halt draws to a conclusion.
David said: “We had guaranteed income and now we don’t. We do get some help from Universal Credit to help with things, but in all honesty – it is not enough.
“It just doesn’t help everything.
“It’s difficult times, there is a possibility we could end up losing our home.”
