division_name: Orders of the Day &#8212; New Clause 1 &#8212; Collective enfranchisement by leaseholders
motion: <p class="" pid="c.208.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="c.208.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">New clause 1 is an attempt to rectify a small but aggravating injustice in the stamp duty land tax. It is an injustice against the thousands of people who own the leasehold of their property and wish to acquire the freehold under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. It is a technical problem recognised by hon. Members on both sides of the Committee, and we hope to provide a solution to it this evening.</p>
