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]

Perhaps I am on the Minister’s side on this question. When the clause says ““may””, it means ““has the power to””; therefore the council can investigate. This is not a question of the council investigating if the Minister lets it; it will be empowered to do so.
