§ Mr. GardinerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what discussions his Department has had with the Institute of Chartered Accountants to ensure that full disclosure of certified accounts is made by landlords to leaseholders under section 21 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985; and if he will make a statement. [31131]
§ Mr. RaynsfordNo such discussions have taken place. It does however appear that some clarification may be needed of the duties of a qualified accountant certifying a summary of costs under section 21 of the Act, and we are considering the best way to take this forward.
