“The Secretary of State must before the end of the period of two years beginning with the day on which this Act is passed—

(a) review the effect of the participation limit contained in section 13(2)(b)(ii) of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, with particular consideration given to whether it represents an unjustified barrier to leaseholders exercising their rights under this Chapter, and

(b) report to Parliament, in whatever manner the Secretary of State thinks fit, with proposals for reform.”—

This new clause would require the Secretary of State to consider, within two years of the Act coming into force, whether the current requirement that 50% of leaseholders must support an enfranchisement application should be lowered.
