Several bills related to leasehold reform and building societies have made progress in the UK Parliament. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill aims to make it cheaper and easier for people to manage their buildings. Julie Elliott's Building Societies Act 1986 (Amendment) Bill and Emma Lewell-Buck's Licensing Hours Extensions Bill have both passed their second readings, with a focus on supporting building societies and extending pub licensing hours. Politicians and organizations have expressed support for these bills, emphasizing the potential positive impact on leaseholders, first-time buyers, and local communities.

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
Wonderful news that @EmmaLewellBuck's Licensing Hours Extensions Bill today passed its Second Reading! We will continue to support this Bill through its further stages. Our pubs should always be able to serve their communities during the country's most important times. https://t.co/G9BnZDDx9N
I was delighted to support @JulieElliottMP's Bill to level the playing field for building societies. The sector plays an important role in providing people with affordable finance. Oh…and I really enjoyed saying "comrade" in the chamber & watching the faces of the Tories! 😝 https://t.co/3wzDRx7Ac8
Today my bill in support of Building Societies passed its second reading. It is a bill that could enable Building Societies to support even more First Time Buyers than they already do - this is support in a sector that so many in Sunderland Central really need. https://t.co/LeZ8ruQxTy

As a keen animal lover, I was very happy to support @BIAZA at its Great British Wildlife Restoration event in Parliament, recognising some incredible projects across Britain, protecting & reintroducing native species. And lovely to chat to the team from @chesterzoo🦓🦒🐘 https://t.co/J0LdecrnIr
We are changing the leasehold system for the better. On Tuesday the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill reached committee stage. The Bill will make it cheaper and easier for more people to manage their building themselves. https://t.co/FSsmOK9BBo
