Yes, but I’d prefer that land should only be owned by citizens and domestic companies

While the Labour Party has not explicitly stated that land should only be owned by citizens and domestic companies, their actions suggest a preference for local ownership. However, they have not completely banned foreign ownership, hence the score of 4 instead of 5.
