Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)
I do not think I would agree with that point, no.
Lord Campbell of Pittenweem (LD)
My Lords, have the Government ever considered the use of compulsory purchase orders when ownership of property is being deliberately concealed?

The noble Lord makes an appealing point but the situation is far more complex than that. Particularly with the unexplained wealth orders legislation that I brought through a couple of years ago, it is not as easy as just compulsorily purchasing houses.
