Proceeding contribution from Anne Begg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scams (Office of Fair Trading).
Scams (Office of Fair Trading)
I could not agree more, and I was going to suggest that the OFT should communicate directly with Members of Parliament to say that it has a locus in the issue and is interested in receiving complaints. I was not aware that that avenue was open to me. I was aware of the local trading standards office, but I was not aware that the OFT would treat the matter as seriously as it does. I have since discovered that the OFT has a scam buster unit, and is interested in the problem. I hope that the Minister will tell us how the OFT wants to take the issue forward.
