answer text <p>In ‘Reforming competition and consumer policy’ Government consulted on options to address consumer harm from unwanted subscription contracts <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reforming-competition-and-consumer-policy" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reforming-competition-and-consumer-policy</a>.</p><p> </p><p>There were 188 responses, including 94 from businesses, business representatives, and trade associations. Alongside the consultation, and since, the department also held regular meetings and roundtables with business representatives. Government analysed the consultation responses, gathering further evidence from businesses where needed, and is implementing the measures which best balance the benefits to consumers and the associated costs to business. The cost to business and benefits to consumers is detailed in our impact assessment &quot;Digital Competition and Consumers Bill: Subscription measures”: <a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-03/0294/ImpactAssessmentAnnex2.pdf" target="_blank">https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-03/0294/ImpactAssessmentAnnex2.pdf</a>.</p>

answer text <p>Government is aware of concerns around the impact removing Mailworks could have on individual post office branches and understands Post Office Limited has raised these concerns directly with Royal Mail.</p><p>Mailworks contracts are commercial matters for both companies and Government has no involvement in these matters. There would be a six-month notice period if Royal Mail were to decide to remove a Mailworks contract. Post Office would continue to work closely with an affected postmaster if notice were given.</p><p>The Government-set Access Criteria ensures that 99% of the population will continue to live within three miles of a post office.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Since it came into effect, the growth duty requires regulators to have regard to the desirability of promoting economic growth, alongside the delivery of protections set out in relevant legislation. Guidance has been produced to assist regulators in fulfilling this responsibility, both at a strategic and operational level, including the proper consideration that must be made before allocating resources, setting enforcement policies, and making sanctioning decisions.</p><p>In the Spring Budget, the Chancellor announced that the government’s new Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor Dame Angela McLean, will oversee a review of the regulator growth duty.</p> more like this
