Leasehold: Reform
Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Monday 15th September 2025

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when her Department plans (a) to (i) launch and (ii) close the public consultation on enfranchisement valuation methodology under the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 and (c) to publish the findings of that consultation; and by what date she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to implement those findings.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

I refer the Hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 68213 on 23 July 2025.

Leasehold: Reform
Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Monday 15th September 2025

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to address the loophole in the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 whereby freeholders can retain undemised flats to prevent buildings from qualifying for collective enfranchisement.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The government wants to support leaseholders to take control of the management of their buildings through the right to manage or to enfranchise should they wish to do so. That is why we have already implemented the provisions in the Leasehold and Freehold reform act to remove the two-year qualifying period before people can enfranchise or extend their lease.

Where a freeholder owns a flat within a building this is no bar to leaseholders exercising their right to manage or to enfranchise. However, we recognise that if a freeholder owns a substantial portion of a building, claims are likely to be difficult. We would welcome any evidence of freeholders choosing to retain flats within buildings in order to complicate right to manage or enfranchisement proceedings.

The Government has committed to further reform the leasehold system by enacting remaining Law Commission recommendations relating to enfranchisement and the Right to Manage.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many audits the Public Sector Fraud Authority has undertaken into the National Investigation Service; what the purpose of these audits was; what methods were used during these audits; what the risks identified during these audits were; and how long each of these audits took.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

On 12 October 2023, the Public Sector Fraud Authority were requested to undertake a formal operational review of National Investigation Service, with a primary purpose to focus on performance. The review team included experts from the National Crime Agency, Serious Fraud Office, HM Revenue and Customs, Government Internal Audit Agency, and NHS Counter Fraud Authority.

The review report was provided to DBT on 17 November 2023 and made recommendations to prevent future risk of secondments lapsing and appropriate governance.

There have been no other formal audits or reviews undertaken by the Public Sector Fraud Authority into National Investigation Service.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, on what date his Department was made aware of Mazars' report commissioned by Thurrock Council into the National Investigation Service; and what steps it took in response.

Although confidential, the recommendations of the report were published in Thurrock Council board meeting quarter 2 2024.

In response, DBT requested the report from NATIS, which was provided July 2024. There was one finding directly affecting DBT that had already been addressed ahead of DBT receiving the report.

Asked by: Mike Martin (Liberal Democrat - Tunbridge Wells)
Monday 15th September 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

No cases have yet been transferred from the National Investigation Service (NATIS) to the Insolvency Service.
