uin	257547
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2019 answer text <p>In June 2018, the CMA launched a market study into the funeral sector. The CMA investigated two core areas in connection to the supply of a funeral: (1) how competition between funeral directors works and transparency issues in the provision of funerals; and (2) how competition works in the crematoria segment of the industry. In light of the findings of the market study, the CMA launched a full market investigation into the funeral sector. The scope of the CMA’s market investigation includes the funeral services supplied by funeral directors arising from the redemption of funeral plans.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury launched a call for evidence on the regulation of pre-paid funeral plans in June 2018. The call for evidence has confirmed that consumer detriment is present in the pre-paid funeral plan sector and that there is broad demand for the sector to come under compulsory regulation. Consequently, the government intends to bring the pre-paid funeral plan market within the remit of the Financial Conduct Authority and is currently consulting on the proposed legislative framework to implement this proposal.</p><p> </p><p>My officials have engaged with the CMA to ensure the respective investigations are complementary and coherent.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 05/06/2019 13:02:22 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
