The office of the Small Business Commissioner has received two enquiries on behalf of small businesses, neither of which would be in scope of the proposed complaints handling service. Secondary legislation relating to this complaints handling service is currently before this House, and would need to come into force before the complaints service could launch. Subject to the will of Parliament, when it is in force small businesses will be able to submit complaints for consideration, including complaints relating to the period from 6 April 2017.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 20/11/2017 15:17:54 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
