Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chi Onwurah (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 February 2024. It occurred during Debate on bills on Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill.

I thank the Minister for his generosity with his time. It is not only companies that are exploiting leaseholders; the St Mary Magdalene and Holy Jesus Trust in my constituency refuses to allow its leaseholders to extend their lease or buy their freehold. The charitable exception is very complex, and nobody wants historic houses to be sold, but these are ordinary terraced houses and the charity used to sell the freehold and, indeed, extend leaseholds in the past. Is it possible for the Minister to meet me or my constituents to look at how this issue can be addressed in the future?
