My Lords, I do not wish to prolong this. In relation to the comments that the Minister made on ongoing discussions about the role of the landlord ombudsman, could she undertake to ensure that the following is taken into account? The Cabinet Office guidance makes clear the importance of avoiding
“multiple redress schemes within individual industry sectors”,
and goes on to note that this is best achieved
“by utilising existing Ombudsman schemes”.
I hope she will take that into account, or ensure that it is taken into account.
