The majority of MPs voted not to restrict ground rents on all existing long residential leases to a peppercorn
MPs were considering the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill.[1][2][3]
The proposed new clause rejected by the majority of MPs in this vote was: Ground rent for existing long leases and stated:
