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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on the Competition and Markets Authority recommendations on unadopted roads in its Housebuilding Market Study, published in 2024.

My Department engages regularly with a range of stakeholders about our ongoing reforms to the leasehold system, including to freehold estates and unadopted infrastructure.

This week, I met with Home Owners Rights Network to hear their views on the two comprehensive consultations launched in December seeking views on how best to implement new consumer protections for homeowners on freehold estates and the ways in which we might reduce the prevalence of privately managed estates over the coming years. For further information about those consultations, I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 18 December 2025 (HCWS1210).
