Stop plans to sell off the Land Registry

Why is this important?

The Land Registry records the ownership of all land and property in England and Wales.

If private companies get their hands on the Land Registry they’ll have one thing on their minds - profits. This could mean a hike in price for all of us, or a fall in standards because of cost-cutting measures.

The Land Registry is a public service that is self funding and is not a drain on public finance. There's no need to sell it off to the highest bidder.
