Auctioneering Profession: Motion.

 

I compliment my colleagues on tabling this motion. They were right to do so. The Minister of State has indicated they were right because he has taken careful note of what they said and he is taking some degree of action. I do not believe that the intention of my colleagues was to vilify the auctioneering trade. I have suggested that there were some occasions when I had doubts, but they may be unjustified. I have met a great number of thoroughly decent auctioneers. Enough was said by the Government side and by those on this side of the House, including the Independents, for the Minister of State to take this action, which fully justifies the tabling of the motion by the university Members.
