Secretariat of the All Party Parliamentary Group on leasehold reform

Parliament

About the APPG

The APPG holds at least four meetings a year on issues such as the leasehold houses and doubling ground rent scandals, and now the disaster of combustible cladding.

Patron MPs

LKP is secretariat of the APPG and organises the agenda of its meetings. APPG chairs – Sir Peter Bottomley, Sir Ed Davey and Jim Fitzpatrick – are also the patrons of LKP.

Join the APPG

The last Parliament had 177 MPs members and Lords; we do not anticipate fewer with this one. Please join the APPG by emailing us at APPG@leaseholdknowledge.com
