Commonhold And Leasehold Reform Draft Bills

EDM number 1170 in 1999-00, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 22/11/2000.

That this House notes the disappointment of leaseholder organisations at the publication of the draft bills on commonhold and leasehold reform; notes that it does not allow for the automatic transfer from leasehold to commonhold and that there are no plans to abolish, 'Marriage Values'; further notes the comments of the Campaign for the Abolition of Residential Leasehold that, 'The Government's proposals will do little to end the leasehold misery, and fall a long way short of what was promised', and those of the Leasehold Enfranchisement Association that, 'The draft bill is totally unacceptable to us'; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to take these comments on board and substantially amend the draft bills.

This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
