Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 May 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Consumer Rights.
Consumer Rights
The Minister mentioned one enforcement agency and one advice agency—trading standards officers and Citizens Advice. In my constituency, although I suspect that it is a national problem, council budgets are being squeezed. The budgets of trading standards officers and consumer advice centres are therefore being squeezed. As a result, they are becoming less effective, particularly in the enforcement work of trading standards and the debt advice of citizens advice bureaux. Will he consider that question carefully, because I believe that consumer protection is being weakened?
