§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list all the statutes and regulations which regulate the entitlement to the use of the description estate agent; and when they came into effect.

However, under the Estate Agents Act 1979 the Director General of Fair Trading can prohibit a person from doing estate agency work if that person appears unfit for such work and has engaged in certain types of misconduct.
