By Faye Brown, political reporterLabour has dropped its pledge to abolish leasehold within the first 100 days of government if it wins the general election.The party is still committed to getting rid of the system, but those working on the policy believe they need more time to enact such a radical measure after the Tories watered down their own promises on reform, Sky News understands.
Harry Scoffin, founder of Free Leaseholders, told Sky News: 'The news that Labour has dropped a pledge to bring forward radical anti-leasehold legislation within the first 100 days is worrying.'Leaseholders have been mucked about by a succession of governments for decades now.'With a general election only months away, we need firm assurances that Labour still intends to end leasehold and enact mass commonhold, as they have always promised. 5.
