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

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to introduce a cap on ground rents.

Through the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill published on 27 January 2026, the government is proposing to cap ground rent at £250 per year, before changing to a peppercorn in 40 years.

For further information, I refer the Noble Lord to the Written Ministerial Statement HLWS1278 on 27 January 2026.
