My Department has established an informal advisory group, which includes a number of members of the Sales Law Review Group, to consider the most appropriate and effective ways of giving effect to the 124 recommendations contained in the Review Group’s report. The Department plans to issue a number of consultation papers in 2013 on the main areas for reform indicated by the Review Group. Work will then commence on preparing the general scheme of a comprehensive, consolidated Consumer Rights Bill along the lines recommended by the Group. Regard will be had in this context to the responses to the consultations.
Question No. 261 withdrawn.
