Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Bill [HL]

I am extremely grateful to all noble Lords who have spoken in support of the amendment. I am especially grateful to the Minister, who has recognised that this is a very important issue. I respectfully suggest that the burden probably needs to be fairly onerous if the council is to be able to speak for consumers on what they can do about climate change. I know that the Government think that this is the most important issue of our time and is likely to continue to be so. I look forward to what the Government will bring back.
