It is the view of Ministers that this is a misleading and dubious marketing practice through omission.</p><p> </p><p>I can confirm that we are taking further steps to review such practices.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
