Right to Manage Companies
Monday 26th October 2026

Asked by: Dan Aldridge (Labour - Weston-super-Mare)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps the Government is taking to ensure that volunteer directors of residents’ management companies are made aware of the responsibilities and time commitment involved in the role, and whether it plans to provide training or guidance for those undertaking these responsibilities.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

LEASE is continuing to develop and expand its online learning offer as part of its wider digital transformation.
