Parliament is being prorogued today and is back in two weeks for the Queen’s speech. Lots of important legislation coming forward and much work to do nationally such as improving education, dealing with the cost of living crisis, and response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But there are some issues that won’t make the front pages but for those affected is a big deal.

@DrBenSpencer

An example is the move from RPI to CPI for pitch fee increases for park home residents, I am pushing for this to be in our legislation next session. It’s a small and simple change but the right one, and what a difference it would make for my constituents who live in park homes.

 

UPDATE ON THE 10% THAT PHOJC has campaigned for.

 

Let's hope we hear something

positive after the Queen's Speech on May 10th.

 

YESTERDAY IN PARLIAMENT:

 

Eddie Hughes Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)

 

A mobile home site owner is entitled to a maximum 10% commission on the sale of a mobile home by a resident. The department commissioned research on the likely impacts on residents and site owners of a change to the 10% commission paid on the sale of a park home. The research was carried out by the University of Liverpool last year and the final report submitted on 12 January 2022. While considering the findings it was decided further research was required to ensure the report was comprehensive. The final report has now been received by the department and it is currently being reviewed and prepared for publication. It will be published as soon as possible.
