Consumers: Protection

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the request in the letter of 22 March from Citizens Advice, MoneySavingExpert.com and Which to the Prime Minister, whether they will establish a high-level working group to focus on securing the best possible deal for UK consumers as the UK exits the EU.

Answer

We plan to follow up the roundtable hosted at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on 19 December 2016 that involved representatives from a range of consumer bodies, charities and academics. This will provide an opportunity to discuss the best way to maintain close contact with consumer groups in the future.
