Commons ChamberMy hon. Friend makes a powerful point. We will, of course, reflect on that matter when we respond to the leasehold consultation.
Is my hon. Friend able to reassure the House that any clampdown on excess service charges will not have an adverse impact on rents?
When we talk about the ban on letting agents’ fees and making the system fairer, the industry has talked about an increase in rents as a possible impact, but that did not come to pass in Scotland. We want to introduce fairness across the system, and I hope that that will ultimately mean lower charges and lower fees for tenants.
