The
Government is committed to ensuring consumers get a fair deal, value
for money, safe and high quality products, and greater choice. This
is not only good for consumers, it is also good for British
business.
Business
needs demanding, confident consumers who encourage higher standards
and innovation. It needs effective enforcement of consumer
standards, to drive out
the rogues who compete unfairly.
The
Government has already taken measures to protect consumers and
ensure they get a good deal. Now it is taking further action to
strengthen safeguards for consumers and ensure greater choice and
better prices through effective competition.
The
Government also wants to see a stronger consumer voice, both here
and in Europe, helping to shape policy.
 The final Consumer
Strategy, A Fair Deal for Consumers - Extending Competitive Markets:
Empowered Consumers, Successful Business, is now available.
The strategy
sets out the practical actions required to bring the UK up to
world-class standards for consumers and follows up last year's DTI
consultation on a consumer strategy for the next 5 – 10 years.
