§ Mr. AtkinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to introduce legislation to ensure that leasehold contracts include full details of the leaseholder's commitment to insurance and maintenance; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierNo. These are matters for negotiation between the individual freeholder and leaseholder when a contract is drawn up or assigned. The Landlord and Tenant Acts 1985 and 1987 give significant rights to residential leaseholders in relation to both insurance and maintenance arrangements.
