Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Devine (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 28 February 2008 on behalf of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.


Regulatory Regimes

Question
On improving communication within the Department, will my hon. Friend ensure that the appropriate Minister writes to me and other concerned MPs who were involved in the Farepak scandal? The report was due to be completed at the end of last month, and a briefing from the Department would be helpful.
Answer

My hon. Friend makes a good point. We are conscious of the impact of the Farepak affair on constituents throughout the country. The Minister with responsibility for consumer affairs, my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, West (Mr. Thomas), leads on that issue, and I understand that the report should be published around Easter.
