HC Deb 24 March 1982 vol 20 cc347-8W
Miss Wright

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he has made any use of his powers under section 3(1)(d) of the Estate Agents Act 1979; and whether he has any plans to declare any practice on the part of those engaged in estate agency work to be undesirable.

Dr. Vaughan

My right hon. Friend has not to date used those powers. He proposes to use them only if experience shows a need to declare a practice undesirable,
