Clause 137
Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill [Lords]
1:15 pm
Sarah McCarthy-Fry (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Communities and Local Government; Portsmouth North, Labour)
I thank my right hon. Friend for his comments. The Government are sympathetic to the views, but we have looked at the situation and we have decided not to legislate at this time. However, we would be happy to meet the RICS to discuss its concerns. In the meantime, I commend the clause to the Committee.
