Land Registry Office Closures

EDM number 201 in 2009-10, proposed by John McDonnell on 24/11/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Unemployment and Land law.

That this House expresses its concern at the announcement that five Land Registry offices are to close in Croydon, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Stevenage and Tunbridge Wells with the loss of 1,100 jobs; notes that 1,700 jobs have already been lost in the Land Registry and that there are real concerns about maintaining a decent service; further notes that 30 per cent. of all land in England and Wales remains unregistered and so there is plenty of work to be done; and therefore calls on the Government to withdraw these proposals and invest in maintaining a strong Land Registry with a comprehensive land registration system.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
