MPs confirm: Land Registry to stay public

Following a consultation, the government has confirmed that it will not be going ahead with the sale of the Land Registry due to infighting concerning the inefficiency of the Royal Mail sell-off, despite many senior politicians expressing support for its privatisation. The news follows Vince Cable vetoing the scheme last weekend as a result of ongoing arguments with Tory and Lib Dem MPs, and represents a victory for the Public and Commercial Services union, which raised 106,000 signatures in a petition to keep the Land Registry in state hands, away from possible conflicts of interest.
