Cooper: PM needs to go further with stronger consumer protections

Responding to Andy Burnham's plan to end rip-off discounts and subscription traps, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader and Treasury Spokesperson, Daisy Cooper MP said:

“We Liberal Democrats have long called for stronger consumer protections and we want to see the government go further.

“If the new PM is serious about this, he should introduce strengthened protections against rogue traders, make energy bills fairer by giving everyone a discount on their essential usage, and clamp down on the big supermarkets' unfair shrinkflation tactics.

“With a new PM in place, people up and down the country will expect to see big changes and soon.”
