I have interpreted this question as relating to the pre-paid funeral plan market. The government launched a call for evidence into the regulation of the pre-paid funeral plan market in June 2018, having concluded that the current framework of self-regulation is not sufficient to ensure the fair treatment of consumers.

The noble Lord Davies chaired the government-commissioned, independent and business-led Women on Boards review from 2010 to 2015 to increase the representation of women on FTSE350 company boards to 25% by 2015. His initial report was published in February 2011 and the final report in October 2015. The former department (BIS) provided a small secretariat to support his work. A number of sponsors and stakeholders also contributed to events and the successful publishing of his reports.<\/p>

The Review will be supported for the duration by a joint secretariat comprising of officials from BEIS and the Government Equalities Office. KPMG are the Review\u2019s corporate sponsors.
