The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what his planned timetable if for the commencement of (a) section 48 and (b) Schedule 10 of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government intend to implement Section 48 and Schedule 10 of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 as soon as possible after we have made necessary changes in primary legislation to fix the small number of specific but serious flaws that the Act contains.

For details of those flaws I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the answer to Question UIN 25972 on 6 February 2025.
