Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Edward Argar and Nigel Mills

Tuesday 1st May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Edward Argar (Charnwood) (Con)]

1. What steps he is taking to ensure that markets work in the interests of consumers.

[Nigel Mills (Amber Valley) (Con)]

6. What steps he is taking to ensure that the industrial strategy benefits consumers through increased competition.

[The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Greg Clark)]

The industrial strategy makes it clear that a competitive UK economy in which firms compete on price, service and innovation is one that serves consumers best. Our recently published Green Paper, “Modernising Consumer Markets”, sets out proposals to ensure that consumers benefit from new technologies and, in particular, that consumers’ data must be used to benefit them and not to act unfairly against them.
