Howellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the anxiety felt 22W by many people at the number of estate agents recently shown to be in difficulties following misuse of their clients' money; and if he will introduce legislation to put estate agents on the same basis as other professional men who have to place clients' deposits in special accounts and have a regular audit of these accounts.
