Two opportunities to raise leasehold scandals in Parliament today

November 7, 2017 //  by Sebastian O'Kelly

Kelly Tolhurst, Conservative MP for Rochester and Strood, has a debate scheduled today on property management.

This means two debates on the leasehold scandal in Parliament today, as Justin Madders, Labour MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston, has his 10-minute rule Bill this afternoon.

It is not known what direction Kelly Tolhurst will take, although leasehold property management should be a part of it.

 

Justin Madders launches Bill to end the enfranchisement and lease extension racket

    From the Guardian on off-shore tax avoidance – “A lobby group representing offshore businesses spoke of having “superb penetration” at the highest levels of the British government before a G8 summit that was expected to bring more transparency into the sector.
    The International Financial Centres Forum worked frantically behind the scenes to thwart a regulatory overhaul that would have introduced new obligations for Britain’s overseas territories and crown dependencies.
    Appleby, the law firm at the centre of the Paradise Papers leak and a member of the IFC, helped coordinate the pushback, which involved meetings with ministers, senior civil servants, Conservative MPs and lords”.
    The very same thing is going on now with leasehold laws, and of course government will be compliant. We live in a thoroughly corrupt world, nah, this is about the United Kingdom. We live in a thoroughly corrupt country, our government and our judiciary, and every single part of the State, is corrupt. Our honourable friends and our learned friends, they are neither honourable nor learned, they are gobshites.

      David, oooh “ Superb penetration” sooooooo many ways to interpret that phrase.
      Ooooer missssus……

      Sorry, couldn’t resist . Open goal????

        To clarify- I am NOT being lascivious but hopefully slightly ironic

          Of course you weren’t being lascivious, Kim, you were doing your Frankie Howard impression. Government anyway is like a cheap floosy, not too difficult to conquer, and not too costly either.

    Watched Kelly Tolhurst’s speech on Parliament TV. Thorough critique of woes of those who pay service charges. Minister replied that government plans to respond before Christmas to the Big Consultation.Pushing against an open door if the noises are anything to be believed. (What transpires is another matter).

    I understand the government supports Justin Madder’s bill. Lucky that as these ten minute bills don’t usually survive eleven minutes.

    I just pray we have a Parliament that can survive to February 2nd! If only Boris would shut up and others stop being silly? I’m not Tory, just want leasehold reform and a general election would scupper this bill now it is on the way. We’d be back to 1998 and more promises.

    Why THREE months, mind?

    Still, rather have today than not. Bright side, bright side…

      No, there is no government backing as yet for Justin Madder’s Bill.

        November 7, 2017 at 6:12 pm

        Noooooo! Can this be true?

        I read otherwise in the Huff Post and thought it was attributed to Justin Madders…

        “Ten minute rule bills very rarely make it onto the statute book but this bill has support from both Government and opposition MPs, showing how widespread the abuses have been and how, in this hung Parliament there is real cross party appetite to end this scandal.”

        http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/justin-madders/leasehold-property_b_18477786.html

        Gutted if they don’t support. I demand a general election…

        • Paddy

          November 7, 2017 at 6:14 pm

          Ah… I see, it just say government MPs not government.

          Do we have a government these days or just a collection of MPs acting as stand-alone Ministers?

    Hey comrades, I won’t apologise for sounding like a stuck record.

    If the Government screw leaseholders off once again then we must take to the streets and protest. It worked for the “ POLL TAX” Injustice and it will work for “ LEASEHOLD INJUSTICE”

    Leaseholders had better get ready to step up to the plate NO EXCUSES.
    Keep the pressure on Government. They are currently weak and cannot afford to p#s# the 4 million leaseholders off.
