The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, for what reason the Land Registry has not updated the title deeds on the former Deputy Prime Minister’s dwelling in Ashton-under-Lyne following the changes made earlier this year.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

HM Land Registry publishes information about processing times which can be found on gov.uk here. While the time taken to process this type of application is not out of the ordinary, HM Land Registry is committed to improving speed of service for its customers.
