Report by Head of Planning and Regulatory Services

Minutes:

A report highlighting the implications of the Government consultation dated June 2011 which proposes radical changes in the way in which Councils’ Trading Standards deliver consumer protection across the UK was considered.  These proposals arise from the decision to abolish the Office of Fair Trading.

 

Decision

 

1.             Noted the consultation paper and supported the view that it is essential that any proposals will not diminish the delivery of consumer protection at a local level; and

 

2.             Noted that the Regulatory Services Manager will bring a report to a future meeting of the PPSL Committee once the outcome of the review is known.
