The Department intends to repeal these regulations and restate them in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill with some amendments, chiefly to enable the Government to strengthen rules against fake reviews.

The Government is committed to a consumer rights framework that protects consumers and drives consumer confidence, while minimising unnecessary costs to business.
