Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to paragraph 104 of the Government’s response to the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee report on Leasehold Reform, CP 99, published in July 2019, what recent progress he has made on reforming leasehold, working with the Law Commission.
Answer
The Government has already legislated via the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022 to protect future leaseholders and we are due to bring forward further leasehold reforms later in this Parliament.
On 11 January 2022, the Government launched a consultation on a number of recommendations made by the Law Commission that broaden the rights of leaseholders. We will respond in due course.
