Home Information Pack (Amendment) Regulations 2007

My Lords, I am grateful for that clarification. However, I beg to differ as to whether stopping it now would necessarily do any harm. I should say to the noble Lord, Lord Graham, that I did not mention any questions about the ability to provide qualified people, nor did I mention the question of costs. The provision of a home information pack is described to me by some people in the business as an earnings centre for the profession. Whether that is good or bad is neither here nor there, but it is certainly an unintended consequence, which is what I said it was. I tried to produce a reasonably balanced picture of what is going on. However, it is very difficult to find a great deal of good, published information, but it is very easy to find adverse comment. This has been a useful debate. I am not quite sure what is happening in June because the noble Baroness said it would depend on the way in which the situation developed. If I understood her correctly, she left open the question of further regulation to delay the full implementation of HIPs. That means that we will almost certainly be back here on some other occasion, if not debating the issue in this form then in some other form. It has been a useful hour. I beg leave to withdraw the Motion. Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
