Housing: Leaseholder Deposit Protection
Debate between Baroness Hanham and Baroness Scotland of Asthal
Baroness Hanham
My Lords, as the noble Lord will know, there are two parts to this. This Question is not about the private rented sector. It is about leaseholders. We have no policies at present to bring the private rented sector under the law.
Baroness Scotland of Asthal
My Lords, why have the Government chosen not to make plans to implement legislation that was passed in 2002?
Baroness Hanham
The noble and learned Baroness will be aware that this was not our legislation: it was the legislation of the previous Government and it was the previous Government's responsibility to implement it.
