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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to (a) modernise the current property system, (b) conduct a mass digitisation of documents, (c) increase communicative protections to prevent gazumping/gazundering, and (d) streamline the system of conveyance from sale to re-registration.

I refer the hon. Member to the Home Buying and Selling Reform Roadmap which my Department published on 19 June. It can be found on gov.uk here.
