Matthew Pennycook says Labour must close loopholes in changes to rules in England and Wales passed by Gove
Long-awaited reforms to the leasehold system in England and Wales have been delayed for several months due to “flaws” in legislation passed by the previous Conservative government, the housing minister has said.
Matthew Pennycook told the Commons it would take longer than expected to enact reforms originally passed by the former housing secretary Michael Gove in the dying days of the last parliament.
