The previous regulations did not include provisions to protect consumers from the apparently perpetual nature of some timeshare contracts. The new regime provides improved protections for consumers buying and selling timeshares and other long-term “holiday club” memberships including provision for consumers to withdraw from the contract. At the time of implementing the 2011 Regulations an impact assessment was undertaken.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 12/07/2018 12:48:47 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths
