Lord McNally
That is an interesting prospect, which I suspect Sir Alan Beith may well look into.
Baroness Gardner of Parkes
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?
Lord McNally
I am afraid that it would require a different kind of legislation. This is about freedom of information from public bodies.
