PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Property Searches (21 January 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what secondary legislation would be required, in addition to the Infrastructure Bill, in order to extend centralisation of local land charges register data to CON29 searches.

Asked by:
Mr Toby Perkins (Labour)

The CON 29 service is a non-statutory service provided by local authorities. The measures in the Infrastructure Bill will only transfer responsibility for the statutory local land charges service from local authorities to Land Registry.
