613) "Close Scrutiny."

   To the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Secretary

And

To the Chair, Ombudsman Services.

For Clarity - Attempt 614.

Jeremy Corbyn For Prime Minister:

613)  "Close Scrutiny."

Dear Mr Clark and Lord Tim Clement Jones,

When he was Business Secretary we sent Sajid Javid over 80, "urgent nudge emails" asking him to step up and take urgent action over the complete failure of regulation of surveyors by the RICS and the ludicrous decisions being handed property complainants by their "appointed" company's Ombudsman.

It was a difficult decision and he didn't hesitate to avoid it.

Q. Lord Tim Clement Jones why is there no longer a rigorous, independent and close scrutiny of Ombudsman Services:Property's performance in handling complex and costly property disputes?

We didn't get a response even though we had been asked by the department to, "be more specific" regarding our complaint.

613 emails is - in our opinion - being pretty specific.

If it had been a school that been failing there'd have been a stampede of inspectors, Daily Mail journalists and experts of every shape and size queuing up to place the organisation into, "special measures" and to take over the day to day running.

Not so with Kensington and Chelsea council.

Not so with the RICS and its failure to adequately regulate its Members and

(Un)Regulated Firms.

 

   Not so with Ombudsman Services:Property and its illogical Final Decisions and

occasional 50 quid hand-outs.

Sajid Javid talks about, "close scrutiny" but where is the close scrutiny of RICS

and its encouragement of surveyors to, "develop practices that do not work in the customer's inetersts?

Where is the close scruting of the RICS' Property Ombudsman and all those illogical Final Decisions?

 

 

Sadiq Khan is right when he says Kensington and Chelsea council are, "tainted,"

Isn't the BIS/Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy not also, "tainted?"

Isn't the RICS, "tainted?"

Isn't the RICS' Property Ombudsman not also , "tainted?"

Andrew Gywnne is also right when he says, "...there is clearly a corporate governance failure at Kensington and Chelsea council"

Isn't there not also a corporate governance failure at the RICS and its "appointed" company Ombudsman Services:Property?

Q. Mr Clark, why haven't commissioners been sent in to sort out the regulatory failings at the RICS and its, "appointed" company, Ombudsman Services;Property?

Yours sincerely,

Steve Gilbert - Workstock number- 510458.
