Regulation of Property Agents

Debate between Simon Hoare and Lord Sharma

1st reading: House of Commons
Wednesday 18th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Simon Hoare (North Dorset) (Con)]

I welcome the Minister’s statement, but I urge him to widen its brief to the practices of housing associations. In recent weeks, constituents of North Dorset have been to see me after their housing associations increased charges without any prior notice and certainly with no justification.

[Alok Sharma]

The call for evidence relates to the private rented sector, but we will be putting out a Green Paper on the social housing sector and we will consider such matters.
