Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will review the effectiveness of the Supply of New Cars Order 2000.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Supply of New Cars Order 2000 was introduced following a Competition Commission investigation, to remedy or prevent the adverse effects identified by the Competition Commission in relation to the car retail market. Responsibility for reviewing the Supply of New Cars Order lies with the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which keeps markets remedies under review. While the CMA has not initiated a review of this order at this time, it welcomes submissions where existing remedies may no longer be fit for purpose.
