HC Deb 21 April 1980 vol 983 c26W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what his response has been to the representations of the Incorporated Society of Valuers to the draft Estate Agents (Accounts) Regulations; and whether he will meet members of the society before the rules are adopted.

Mr. Eyre

The society is aware that the Department wishes to take up its offer of discussions with officials at an appropriate time. I should be ready to meet members of the society before the rules are adopted to discuss any issues that cannot be resolved at official level.

Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Trade when he anticipates announcing a date for the commencement of the Estate Agents Act 1979.

Mr. Eyre

It is not yet possible to say when such an announcement will be made.
