Proceeding contribution from Robert Smith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 May 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Confident Consumers.
Confident Consumers
The Minister is exaggerating. If he looks at our manifesto from the last election, he will see that responsibility for energy would be put with environment and transport, which logically belong together. Responsibility for consumer affairs and the voice of business would go to the Treasury and consumer protection would go to the new consumer Department. Regional aid would be devolved to the regions. Such a reorganisation is a matter for another debate, and I suggest that the Minister concentrates on the consumer affairs aspect.
