Boots: Closures
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether she has had discussions with Boots on the potential impact of its planned store closures.
- Answer
-
I recognise the retail sector is going through a difficult transition as it responds to market pressures from a range of factors including changing consumer expectations and behaviour towards online shopping. The Department has regular, ongoing discussions with Boots and a number of retail businesses on a range of subjects.
As you will be aware, the Government has no role in the strategic direction or management of private businesses.
