Asks if it is the Minister’s intention to ensure professionalism can also be effective in Northern Ireland as well, considering that there are currently no such regulations in place there.
Greenwich and Woolwich
Supports Lords amendment 13B, which is described as a technical amendment necessary to ensure qualification requirements apply to managers working for organisations delivering housing management services on behalf of registered providers.
