BBPA statement on BIS Committee report
04.03.2010
“We are determined to address the issues raised in the BIS report head on, by raising standards and putting into practice the new Framework Industry Code.
“Companies will apply both the letter and spirit of that code in their own individual company codes within the next few months. This will deliver greater transparency to prospective tenants and lessees, more information, training and a low cost independent rent review panel for existing tenants and lessees. These are the essential building blocks for a new and constructive relationship.
“We invite wider industry groups to positively engage with, and work in partnership on, this programme for change and improvement.
“We recognise that the Committee has given the industry time to implement the new Code and would be prepared at any stage to meet with the Committee again to discuss progress.”
