As indicated in the response to the Deputy in Parliamentary Question No. 45 of 2 February, there are no immediate plans to amend the law in relation to ground rents, either by way of constitutional amendment or amendment of the current statutory framework. However, I can assure the Deputy that operation of existing ground rents legislation is kept under review by my Department.
