Clause 245
Housing and Regeneration Bill
Public Bill Committees, 17 January 2008, 3:00 pm
Alistair Burt (Shadow Minister, Communities and Local Government; North East Bedfordshire, Conservative)
Again, this may be more germane to the Minister himself. I call his attention to subsection (4), which states:
“The regulations may require a person wishing to enter a document onto a register to pay such fee as may be prescribed.”
Presumably, the fee will be within the control of the agency or the Government. Does the Minister have an idea of what sort of fee we might be talking about in these circumstances?
Iain Wright (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Communities and Local Government; Hartlepool, Labour)
No, I do not, but I can certainly look into the matter on the hon. Gentleman’s behalf. I will ensure that I do so.
