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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of reducing deferment and capitalisation rates on the premium payable for a lease extension; and whether they plan to ensure that those rates are not reduced.

I refer the Noble Baroness to the answer given to Question UIN HL12535 (attached) on 10 December 2025 and to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 27 January 2026 (HLWS1278) (attached).
