Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill.

I thank the Minister for responding to that point. Will he look at strengthening the Bill to stop companies like Coppen Estates avoiding the legislation? Strengthening the legislation is fine, and so is changing the way that enfranchisement fees are calculated so that people get a better deal, but in the end, the freeholder has to respond, which Coppen Estates refuses to do. My constituents in the Flockton estate in Sheffield have tried and failed for years to get a response. How will the legislation be strengthened to ensure that such companies respond?
