Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Fiona Onasanya and James Brokenshire

Monday 10th December 2018 Commons Chamber

[James Brokenshire]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend, and I will certainly look at the point that he has raised. I highlight the fact that the Government support the use of commonhold and we are considering all the options for reinvigorating it. We certainly recognise the publication of the Law Commission’s consultation and want everybody to take part in it.

[Fiona Onasanya (Peterborough) (Lab)]

Will the Government back Labour by announcing an inquiry into the mis-selling of leaseholds?

[James Brokenshire]

What we need to do is to get on and get things changed. Having a review in the way that the hon. Lady has suggested is about deferring things, so we want the industry to take steps to take action. Labour can talk in that way, but it is this Government who are intent on actually bringing about reform.
