Leasehold and Commonhold Reform

Proceeding contribution from Jim Fitzpatrick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 December 2017. It occurred during Backbench debate on Leasehold and Commonhold Reform.

Developers have rightly got a hammering this afternoon, but notwithstanding that, does my right hon. Friend accept that there are abuses in the social sector too? Some councils and housing associations used service charges and refurbishment charges as a blank cheque. The Government had to bring in a cap because that was getting out of control. It is not just the private sector that needs to be reformed; the social sector does too.
