§ Mr. Laurence RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what investigations he has made into the purchase of managed freehold retirement homes; if he will assess the advantages of regulating the contracts entered into by purchasers of these homes; and if he will make a statement. [50168]
§ Mr. RaynsfordWe have conducted no research into the purchase of managed freehold retirement homes. We are looking generally at the market for house purchases, but at present there are no plans to look at the purchase of retirement properties separately.
