Proceeding contribution from Baroness Oppenheim-Barnes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL].

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL]

On a very small point, the description ““designated consumer”” often comes up in the Bill. We all basically understand what it means, but it is probably unnecessarily exclusive. I would prefer ““priority consumer””, because that is what is meant by ““designated consumer””. Other consumers should not be left out of this provision altogether. There should be a further description in these clauses, so that it could be a priority to deal with priority consumers, but not excluding all other consumers.
