'Brexit: will consumers be protected?'

We have reported earlier on this blog about Brexit (one week after the referendum and last month). For anyone wondering whether consumers will still be protected after Brexit, we would like to refer to a Report of the EU Justice Sub-Commitee of the House of Lords that has now been published. On its website, the Sub-Committee calls on the Government to explain exactly how it intends to ensure that UK citizens' consumer rights will be protected and enforced after the UK leaves the EU: "Consumer rights are best protected through shared legislation, shared mechanisms and cooperation with cross-border agencies."
