To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 5 January 2026 to Question 101404, what assessment he has made of the British Franchise Association's effectiveness at enforcing its Code of Ethics.
Answered by
Blair McDougall
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
This Government has not made an assessment of the British Franchise Association's effectiveness at enforcing its Code of Ethics. However, DBT Ministers and officials have recently met with MPs and Fairer Franchisees representatives to listen and understand views regarding practices within the franchising industry. We will continue to remain engaged with relevant stakeholders on this issue.
