As the Deputy will be aware, the Programme for Government indicates that legislation will be introduced to end upward only rent reviews for existing leases. Following on from an initial consultation process with the Attorney General, I have recently forwarded outline proposals to her for further examination and development.

Those proposals have been the subject of preliminary discussion by Government, and will be considered further in the autumn when the work in relation to them should be at a more advanced stage.
