Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with property developers in response to the Competition and Markets Authority agreement with Persimmon on freehold costs.
Ministers meet a range of stakeholders from the development industry on a regular basis. However, no meetings with developers have specifically covered the CMA’s agreements with Persimmon. The commitments secured by the CMA are a hugely important step and demonstrate our determination to support affected leaseholders. We urge other developers to follow suit.
