Proceeding contribution from Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Consumers Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL].

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL]

My Lords, the correspondence I have had with the Scottish Consumer Council representatives ““as is”” tends to suggest that they are very happy with the outcome of these discussions. It is to the Minister’s credit that he took on board the anxieties of a number of us and the consumer councils in Scotland and Wales. They will now be able to operate effectively with the devolved Assembly and Parliament. How successful these things are will depend on experience, but the constructive approach adopted by the Minister is certainly giving the proposal a fair wind. My colleagues in Scotland are sympathetic to his intentions and objectives.
