The Government consulted on measures needed to enhance consumer protection which has led to the introduction of the Digital Market, Competition and Consumers Bill. Consumer awareness and assistance is devolved to the Scottish Government and is a matter for them to consider. The Government currently have no plans to conduct a similar consultation in England and Wales.
