Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill

Mark Tami made a speech in the House of Commons

On the point made by the hon. Member for Harrow East (Bob Blackman), Bellway is certainly a company that has done this. Indeed, many people did not even realise that they had a leasehold house...

Civil Nuclear Road Map

Backbench Business
