The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her planned timescale is for the proposed changes to the rules on ground rent.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

As outlined in the Written Ministerial Statement I made on 21 November 2024 (HCWS244), the government remains firmly committed to its manifesto commitment to tackle unregulated and unaffordable ground rents. We will deliver this in legislation and will set out next steps in due course.
