Select Committee on Enterprise and Economic Strategy

SECTION 109.

Amendment No. 278 has been discussed with amendment No. 269.

Comment on this

I move amendment No. 278:

In page 59, line 10, before "a statement" to insert "the mortgage agent shall ensure that".

Comment on this

This is a reasonable section, although it is slightly intriguing to see how it will gel with whatever is the reformed version of section 108. It might be prudent if we resubmit this section together with section 108. We might want to discuss it in this committee if there is a knock-on effect from section 108 to this section. However, as it stands, it seems reasonable.

Comment on this

Are other sections consequential on section 108? If that is the case, we will have an awkward situation.

Comment on this

No; that section stands alone.

Comment on this

Is Deputy Bruton suggesting that we also defer consideration of section 109? We have discussed the amendment.

Comment on this

This section deals with fees payable by an applicant. The other sections deal with disclosures of commission and charges.

Comment on this

This section deals with fees. Therefore, they are separate.

Comment on this

I am happy with the section. Can the Minister assure us that the provisions in section 109 are not somewhat flawed?

Comment on this

I can give the Deputy that assurance.
