I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act 1978 so as to better enable a lessee to acquire fee simple; and to provide for related matters.

This Bill seeks to amend the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act 1978 to make it easier for lessees to acquire fee simple in commercial property.
