Proceeding contribution from Lord Truscott (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL].

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL]

My Lords, it depends on the definition of estate agents. Where estate agents are involved in selling property and can be defined as estate agents, the Bill will cover them. My understanding is that where they are simply selling property directly, not involving all the other activities of estate agents, they will not be covered by the Bill.
