HOWELLS HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Early day motion 669, tabled 17 January 2007 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House is appalled that a company that went into liquidation in 2006 continues to trade as Howells Windows and Conservatories of Gibbs Road, Newport; understands that the company has pressurised at least nine customers to pay deposits of sums up to £9,000 without subsequently starting any work; notes that the company continues to seek work and deposits in 2007; and is concerned that few remedies are available in law for the customers to retrieve their deposits or to prosecute the offenders.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 2, DUP 1, Independent 1.
