Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what their reasons are for the delay in publishing their review of Trading Standards, outlined in the report on productivity <i>Fixing the foundations: Creating a more prosperous nation</i>, in the light of the fact that the competition plan <i>A better deal: boosting competition for families and firms </i>published in November 2015 stated that the review had been completed.

The Government is still considering the issues raised during this review and will respond in due course.
