Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [Lords].

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [Lords]

Towards the end of her speech, the hon. Member for Richmond Park raised an important point. We all know from our constituency work that it is difficult to succeed with the ombudsman. She quoted figures from the compensation attained by Energywatch. It would be a tragedy if the Bill led to a weakening of consumer protection, if the ombudsman redress schemes did not work properly. Will the Minister continuously monitor that?
