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 at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development
Robert Buckland MP for South Swindon – Lord Chancellor and SoS for Justice
Alistair Burt MP North East Bedfordshire
Oliver Dowden MP for Hertsmere – Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
Mark Field MP for Cities of London and Westmenster
Mike Freer MP for Finchley and Golders Green – Comptroller of the Household (Whip)
Nick Gibb MP for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton – Minister of State for Education
Boris Johnson MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip – Prime Minister
Gillain Keegan MP for Chichester
Amanda Milling MP for Cannock Chase – Chairman of the Conservative Party
Andrew Stephenson MP for Pendle – Minister of State for Transport
Justin Tomlinson MP for North Swindon – Minister of State for 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 2016-17 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.
