Land Registry

Rupa Huq Excerpts

Thursday 30th June 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Lammy]

I am very grateful to my hon. Friend, who is absolutely right. Most registrars in the country are opposed to this act.

[Dr Rupa Huq (Ealing Central and Acton) (Lab)]

My right hon. Friend mentioned the 2014 consultation, in which only 5% of respondents thought that privatisation was a good idea. My right hon. Friend and I are both London MPs, and the market in London is complicated enough as it is. Anything that will complicate things even further cannot be a good idea. If every professional in the sector is condemning these proposals, surely the Government should listen.

[Mr Lammy]

My hon. Friend is exactly right; I agree with her 100%.
