Proceeding contribution from Alan Duncan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [Lords].

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend. To many, there is a suspicion, on which they need reassurance, that the decision to create the new body was motivated not by a desire to improve consumer representation but simply as a drive to cut costs. My hon. Friend asked the Minister earlier about the name of the new body. I did not quite understand the answer; it came out as a bit of a jumble and appeared to us all as a bit of a Prescottism. I am confused, so perhaps the Minister can clarify what its name will be.
