HC Deb 08 February 2000 vol 344 c92W
17. Ms Christine Russell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on his proposals to streamline the home buying and selling process. [107323]

Mr. Mullin

On 11 October last year we announced our intention to take forward a package of complementary measures aimed at making the home buying and selling process in England and Wales faster, more transparent and consumer-friendly. The package is based on extensive research and consultation, and requires action by everyone involved in home buying and selling.
