Auctioneering Profession: Motion.

 

As I stated, some elements of the motion are acceptable. The proposed requirement that auctioneers make a declaration of interest before each transaction, while welcome, is already part of the code of the two professional bodies. One might as well have another auction if one gets into the level of detail contained in the proposed requirement on the opening of sealed bids. If those who have made sealed bids are seated around a table when the bids are opened, the arguments that would follow would result in another auction.
