Former president backs proposals to set up new body to hold institution’s leadership to account

The group, which includes former RICS president Louise Brooke-Smith and former RICS Scotland chairs Archie Rintoul and Steven Tolson, has called on the 153-year old institution to set up a new independent body allowing the organisation’s 140,000 members to directly hold its leadership to account.
