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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has considered, in the context of current and future regulatory frameworks, introducing measures to ensure that leaseholders are able to access the full details of heating and energy supply contracts, and that managing agents or freeholders are required to provide a comprehensive and transparent breakdown of all associated costs.

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

On 4 July 2025, the government published a consultation, jointly with the Welsh Government, on strengthening leaseholder protections over charges and services.

The consultation included proposals to increase transparency over service charges and enhance access to redress through the relevant provisions in the Act. It also proposed new reforms to the section 20 ‘major works’ procedure. The consultation can be found on gov.uk here.

It closed on 26 September 2025, and we are analysing responses with a view to bringing the relevant measures into force as quickly as possible.

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

I refer the hon. Member to the public consultation on the proposed New Towns Programme and its environmental implications launched on 23 March 2026. This can be found on gov.uk here.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessments she has made of the adequacy of the regulation of broadcasters to prevent the advertising and promotion of proscribed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah on any platform, including LuaLua.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Cabinet Office)

The borderless nature of the internet and the rapid spread of unlawful terrorist material means that threats online remain persistent. The Government is clear that terrorist propaganda and material have no place on the internet, and continues to take robust action in response.

The Home Office works to influence industry partners to increase action to tackle online content used to radicalise, recruit and incite terrorism by providing threat assessment, insight and support.

Under the Online Safety Act, tech companies are accountable to Ofcom, the independent online safety regulator, to keep their users safe, and they need to remove and limit the spread of illegal content, including terrorist material.

Only linear TV channels listed on a regulated electronic programme guide (such as Freeview) require a broadcasting licence and must comply with Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code. LuaLua TV is currently only streamed via a website, not a broadcast channel.
