Lords ChamberThat is an interesting prospect, which I suspect Sir Alan Beith may well look into.
Will the changes proposed cover such things as leaseholders being quite unable to get information or transparency? There are over 2 million leaseholders, and they are unable to discover whether the insurance company to which they are paying great money is giving a kickback to the superior landlord. Will that sort of thing be covered, or will it require other types of housing or accountancy legislation?
I am afraid that it would require a different kind of legislation. This is about freedom of information from public bodies.
