The Government needs to revamp its much-vaunted tenant in situ scheme as a "matter of urgency" after it emerged that not a single property has been converted into a cost-rental unit a year after it launched.

New data shows that despite the scheme being launched with much fanfare a year ago, no tenants have been placed on a lower rate of rent.
