Proceeding contribution from Lord Best (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Housing and Regeneration Bill.

Housing and Regeneration Bill

I declare an interest that I should have declared before: I am on the council of the Ombudsman for Estate Agents. In declaring that interest, I commend to the consultation exercise the concept of having an ombudsman and redress scheme, which works so well for the Housing Ombudsman and will work well for estate agents. In fact it already works well for estate agents but it will be compulsory in the future. There are useful parallels there. In both cases, however, it should be remembered that there is always recourse to the courts as well.
