Last week in a BEIS (Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) Select Committee meeting, MPs were taking evidence from representatives of Which?, Citizens Advice, the Trading Standards Institute and the Ombudsman Services. The session focussed on consumer rights as part of the inquiry into Post-pandemic economic growth: state aid and post-Brexit competition policy.
Richard Fuller MP, a Member of the BEIS Select Committee, said:
During the evidence session, I raised the question of my rights as a consumer to access a GP appointment, get my child into a local village school or even get the potholes fixed in my road, and whether the organisations present should extend their remit to cover consumer rights in such areas.
