Business and Trade Committee: Consumer protection

Committee hears from witnesses

The Business and Trade Committee will hear oral evidence on consumer protection policy. This inquiry examines how well existing protections safeguard households from unfair trading practices, product safety risks, and financial harm—and whether current rules are fit for modern markets including online retail and digital services.

Consumer protection directly affects household budgets and safety. How effectively the committee scrutinises enforcement gaps and regulatory weaknesses will influence whether the government tightens rules on scams, unsafe goods, and exploitative trading, potentially saving millions of pounds in consumer losses and preventing harm.
