Proceeding contribution from Nick Raynsford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 May 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Housing.


Housing

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way at last. Will he acknowledge that £1 million is lost every day by members of the public through abortive costs—survey costs, searches and other costs incurred—because one in four transactions fall through? Will he tell us what he will do to address that gross inefficiency in the present arrangements that is working against the public interest?
