Nearly two months in, the Coalition Government has yet to meet with anyone from the estate agency industry.
We’re not sure whether this is a welcome breath of fresh air after Labour’s tiresome compulsion to engage with ‘stakeholders’ at every opportunity, whilst taking absolutely no notice of them before passing more legislation – or somewhat worrying.
Former housing minister John Healey asked a parliamentary question about what recent meetings CLG ministers had had with representatives of the estate agency industry.
Grant Shapps replied: “Since the Coalition Government was formed, no CLG minister has met with representatives of the estate agency industry.”
Still, this non-interventionist approach does at least mean that everyone can get on with their jobs.
