Business question from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate on the impact on the housing market of home information packs? Since their introduction, at an average cost of £400, 1.5 million houses have been put on the market for sale, only 500,000 of which have been sold. That means that £400 million has been wasted on HIPs, which buyers do not want, at a time when high street estate agents are struggling to remain viable.
