Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007 (Commencement No. 3 and Supplementary Provision) Order 2008

My Lords, I am standing in for my noble friend Lord Razzall. As I understood the remarks of the Minister, the statutory instrument requires the National Consumer Council to produce a work programme before the start of each financial year; it is as simple as that. Specifically, the order deals with Section 5 of the Act, and Article 4 also alters the definition of a financial year as it applies to that section. I think that that is what the Minister said. That will now be defined as being from 1 October to 31 March, rather than the normal financial year, thus making a longer cycle of 18 months. I have no more to say. We support the order.
