Today, the UK Parliament saw the successful second reading of Julie Elliott MP's Building Societies Act 1986 (Amendment) Bill, which could significantly aid first-time buyers by enabling building societies to offer more support, as discussed on the @CoopParty website. The bill promises to address the needs of many in Sunderland Central and has garnered cross-party support, with Tulip Siddiq MP expressing her delight in backing it. Rob Pheasey, chair of @BSABuildingSocs, also emphasized the importance of mutuals in the financial sector. Additionally, Nicola Richards MP spoke about The West Brom's significant local contributions and the positive impact the legislative changes will have on building societies like it.

Well done to @michaelgove, @Lee4NED and @luhc for bringing this important leasehold reform bill forward. It has the potential to greatly improve the situation of leaseholders in this country and take us closer to a genuine property owning democracy https://t.co/IQVuku4DIC
