Housing: Construction

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the Competition and Markets Authority's finding in its 2024 Housebuilding Market Study that the private management of public amenities on housing estates constitutes a detriment to consumers, and that the root cause is the decrease in levels of adoption of amenities by relevant authorities; and whether he has taken action in response to that finding.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement (HCWS1210) made on 18 December 2025.

The two consultations both closed on 12 March 2026. We are currently analysing the feedback received and will publish our response in due course.
