Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to stop the mis-selling of static caravans via the holiday park industry.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that all terms of written contracts must be fair and transparent. Additionally, the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 prohibit unfair and misleading marketing tactics towards consumers. These rules normally apply to static caravans which are often significant purchases and it is crucial that consumers seek appropriate legal advice to clearly understand the terms and conditions of the sale so that they can make a fully informed decision.

We are further strengthening the enforcement of this framework following implementation of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act.
