Housing: Leasehold

Debate between Lord Shipley and Lord Fowler

Tuesday 5th January 2021 Lords Chamber

[The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)]

The noble Baroness, Lady Warwick of Undercliffe. No? I call the noble Lord, Lord Shipley.

[Lord Shipley (LD) [V]]

My Lords, five years ago the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership warned the Government of the pending ground rent and leasehold scandals. At the time, the Government promised legislation by the summer of 2018. It is now 2021. Why has it taken them so long to bring forward legislation?
