That this House believes that all leaseholders, whether with private or social sector landlords, should have the same rights in relation to accounting for leasehold monies; welcomes the proposals in the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 addressing these issues; regrets the announcement by the Government on 29th July that because of concerns raised by local councils the proposed measures on accounting for leasehold monies would not be taken forward; and, noting the continuing media stories of social sector leaseholders faced with large bills for major works, calls upon the Government to reconsider that decision and provide those leaseholders with the protection they deserve.

That this House recognises that nursery nurses play a vital role in managing and providing childcare and early years' education in a wide variety of settings; believes that the suggested introduction of classroom assistant as a job title should be rejected by government, local government and private employers as inappropriate for these trained, qualified and professional staff; and urges the Government to work with local government and the private sector to establish professional career and pay structures for nursery nurses which properly reward their training, qualifications and responsibilities.

That this House expresses its deep concern that Southern Water has received over ú100 million since 1989 by charging 595,000 customers in Sussex approximately ú18 per year for drainage of surface water even though a high proportion of their houses have soakaway systems and, therefore, do not use the service; welcomes the intervention of OFWAT which brought this to light; and calls upon Southern Water to take urgent steps to identify all of its customers who do not use this service and to make a full refund to them for all charges incorrectly and unfairly levied since 1989.
