As a veteran of arbitration under the jurisdiction of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in a previous career, I can assure the Minister and the hon. Member for Corby that all the concerns in the proposed amendment are dealt with as a matter of course in the appointment of an arbitrator. The system works perfectly well in a range of other professions. There is no need to clog up the Bill or impinge on the adjudicator’s work as far as the amendment is concerned.
