John Petrou Your MP is in favour of privatisation, but this piece of family silver is different to any other being sold off because it has our names engraved on it by way of our Title and mortgage deeds.

The Times reported on the 26th May that every investment firm interested in buying the Land Registry has links to tax havens!
Once it goes into private hands, who will be looking after and protecting our interests?

There has been so much opposition to the plans - 26,000 people submitted a response to the consultation on the day the consultation closed! Just in case anyone thinks that was a typo... 26,000 submissions were made! A big thank to 38 Degrees for making it so easy for the public to respond...and they did!

Back in November, Sky News reported that George Osborne asked Investment bank Rothschild to look at the options for selling the Land Registry. What was the outcome and where is the report? It wasn't part of the information put out with the consultation. Why not?

The #savelandreg campaign is still very much alive. There are still some postcards and leaflets available if anyone would like some. Ping me an email allsorts@apbassett.co.uk and I will send you a bundle to share with conveyancing clients, friends and neighbours.
