Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on provisions in the Digital Economy Bill to protect Scottish consumers from counterfeit electrical goods being sold online.

I have regular discussions with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on a range of matters. I also have regular discussions with cabinet colleagues to consider issues relating to the Government’s parliamentary business and implementation of its legislative programme, including the Digital Economy Bill, which was introduced earlier this year.
