Angela Rayner MP and Lord Michael Gove to give evidence to Housing Committee on Draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill
The Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee questions former Secretaries of State Angela Rayner MP and Lord Gove as the Committee begins the evidence sessions for its inquiry examining the Government’s draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill.
The cross-party Committee will also question leasehold and ‘fleecehold’ campaigners and the Residential Freehold Association.
Meeting details
The opening session on Tuesday morning will be focussing on the theme of strengthening leaseholders’ rights and “bringing the feudal leasehold system to an end”, with the Committee likely to explore questions around the draft Bill proposals to cap ground rents, the issue of implementing the remaining Law Commission recommendations on leasehold enfranchisement, and privately managed housing estate charges and ‘fleecehold’.
MPs are also likely to take the opportunity to ask for witness views on the regulation of management agents.
