Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, for what reasons publication of the final report on the review of enforcement of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 in respect of copycat packaging has been delayed; and when he plans to publish that report.

I regret that it has not yet proved possible to publish the report. The detailed and full responses we received have led to officials making further inquiries into a number of issues. It is important that the views of interested parties are properly considered, and that we take the necessary time to do this. We will issue the report as soon as possible.
