§ Dr. Goodson-WickesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what figures are collated in respect of tenants receiving their leasehold enfranchisement rights under the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. [7016]
§ Mr. ClappisonThe Government do not collate figures on how many leaseholders have exercised the right to buy the freehold of their homes, as the transactions are private. The number of cases coming before leasehold valuation tribunals, where the parties cannot agree terms, is monitored. Fifty-eight such cases, coming within the terms of the 1993 Act provisions for collective enfranchisement, have been determined.
