Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 5 January 2026 to Question 101404, what assessment he has made of the British Franchise Association's effectiveness at enforcing its Code of Ethics.

This Government has not made an assessment of the British Franchise Association's effectiveness at enforcing its Code of Ethics.

We will continue to remain engaged with relevant stakeholders on this issue.
