Current number of members 153 + 9 friends

Listed below are the members and “friends” of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Leasehold and Commonhold reform in the new parliament.

In the last Parliament we had 177.

The list is updated as new members join.

Members of parliament in the Commons or Lords may join an APPG unless they hold a formal office in the government. This APPG has also created the informal category of “friend” of the APPG to allow members of the government who have asked to follow the group as part of their work on constituency matters.

Current APPG “friends” are:

Nigel Adams MP for Selby and Ainsty – Minister of State DCMS
Robert Buckland MP for South Swindon – Lord Chancellor and SoS for Justice
Oliver Dowden MP for Hertsmere  – Paymaster General, and Minister for the Cabinet Office
Mike Freer MP for Finchley and Golders Green – Lord Commissioner HM Treasury (Whip)
Nick Gibb MP for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton  – Minister of State for Education
Boris Johnson Prime Minister
Amanda Milling MP Cannock Chase – Deputy Chier Whip (Treasury)
Andrew Stephenson MP for Pendle -Minister of State and Minister of State (Africa)
Justin Tomlinson MP North Swindon Minister of State (DWP)

Members of parliament wishing to join the APPG can do so by contacting appg@leaseholdknowledge.com
or by contacting the offices of any of the co chairs Sir Peter Bottomley MP, Justin Madders MP and Sir Edward Davey MP.

The APPG issued their first interim report at the end of the last parliament which can be read HERE

The aims of the APPG:

• To consider ways in which leasehold and commonhold legislation and regulation might be improved.
• To examine those elements of current legislation and regulation which are seen as defective.
• To look at ways to reduce the opportunities for exploitation and ways to alleviate the distress and hardship faced by some leaseholders, particularly the more vulnerable and elderly leaseholder.
• To consider how the current cost imbalance at the leasehold property Tribunal might be addressed, how the Tribunal might be developed for use under revised commonhold legislation and how it might return to parliament’s original intention as a low cost forum for disputes and redress.
• To consider and to make known objectionable and unacceptable behaviour in the sector.
• To consider those matters in leasehold insurance and service charge funds which currently fall outside the regulatory framework of the FCA.
• To consider the different issues faced in the private sector and in the social sectors
• To liaise with and monitor the actions of the various government departments dealing with leasehold and commonhold issues along with the activities of publicly funded bodies working in this area.
• To review commonhold legislation to explore how to better implement this form of tenure so it works as parliament intended.
