§ Mr. Gowerasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will institute a pilot investigation to ascertain what proportion of the leaseholders in Wales entitled to benefit from the provision of the Leasehold Reform Act has already made any application for the purchase of their freeholds; and what information he has so far obtained about this.
§ Mr. George ThomasPublic records do not provide full details of such private transactions so that I cannot readily estimate how many applications are in train or are contemplated. The Act has been in force for a short time only and I do not see sufficient reason at present for a pilot investigation.
