Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government when if at all they intend to reply to the letter dated 15 September from Lord Berkeley to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and the Leader of the House of Commons, regarding the governance of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and similar bodies established by Royal Charter, which called for such bodies to publish and maintain their professional standards, monitor those members using them, and sanction those members who have failed to comply with them.

Unfortunately, the department has no record of receiving the letter prior to 22 November. The department will endeavour to respond as soon as possible.
