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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of reduced ground-rent income on the ability of freeholders to fund the maintenance of residential buildings.

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 27 January 2026 (HCWS1278) and to Annex 5 of the draft Impact Assessment for the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill, which can be found on gov.uk here.
