The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to take steps to tackle subscription traps.

Answered by Kate Dearden

The government is committed to protecting consumers who enter into subscription contracts. We consulted on the implementation of the new subscription contracts regime in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act and have engaged closely with stakeholders. We are carefully considering the points raised and a government response will be published in due course.
