Proceeding contribution from Baroness Wilcox (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL].

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL]

I thank my noble friend Lord Caithness for his amendment and for the contribution to the debate of his great experience in the industry. As the noble Lord, Lord Borrie, said, he spoke briefly, he spoke well, and he spoke with humour. There is an awful lot of passion behind what he has said today and his arguments have great value. However, we are not yet convinced that a decision to license the industry can be made easily after one debate. I await the Minister’s response with great interest and look forward to debating the matter further, as I expect we shall on Report.
