HC Deb 29 June 1999 vol 334 c95W
Mr. Lepper

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list the reports which he has requested from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales about disciplinary action taken by that body in respect of non-compliance with the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 in relation to the accounts of residential leasehold properties in each of the last three years. [88578]

Mr. Raynsford

We have not requested any such reports. However, officials have met representatives of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales to discuss the certification of service charge accounts. We are well aware of leaseholders' concerns in this area and are considering what might be done to protect their money more effectively.
