The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions his Department has had with freehold investors and their representatives on the (a) content and (b) timing of the draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill since July 2024.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Officials in my Department engage regularly with representatives of freeholders, leaseholders, managing agents and other professional bodies with an interest in the leasehold sector in England and Wales.

The draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill was published yesterday, and I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made (HCWS1278).
