Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL]

I shall speak to Amendments Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 to Clause 1, Amendments Nos. 13A and 13B to Schedule 1 and Amendments Nos. 20, 22, 25, 27 and 28, and 32 to 37 to Clause 4, in the name of my noble friend Lord Williams of Elvel and Amendment No. 5 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Wilcox, and the noble Lord, Lord De Mauley. A number of noble Lords have raised the question of territorial committees and devolved responsibilities. First, consumer matters are not in general devolved in Scotland and Wales. Several Members of the Committee referred to this, including my noble friends Lord Williams of Elvel, Lord Whitty and Lord O’Neill.
