Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Desai (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 25 July 2006.


Housing: Home Information Packs

Question
My Lords, does not my noble friend agree that it is better for the Government to have thought before implementing something like this and withdrawn it, rather than—as the party opposite did with the community charge—insist on it and ruin themselves and the country?
Answer

My Lords, I completely agree. When, under our system of conveyancing, one in three sales collapses because of inadequate information and the like, we are right to try to find a system which will improve on it. This will provide information up front and make the whole process more certain and less stressful.
