Significant progress has been made on the implementation of the proposals set out in the Government’s response to the review.

A working group has been set up to consider how information about rights and responsibilities can be improved and shared more widely.

The Government intends to shortly publish a consultation on introducing a fit and proper person test for park home site licence holders and managers.

Research will be commissioned later this year to assess the likely impacts of a change to the rate of commission paid on the sale of a mobile home. In scoping research, careful consideration will be given to the judicial review decision of the Welsh Government’s earlier proposal to reduce the rate of commission.

The proposals which require primary and secondary legislation will depend on parliamentary time being available.
