Valerie Vaz – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Valerie Vaz on 2015-10-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what assessment he has made of the level of charges levied by funeral directors for their goods and services.

The Department has not made an assessment regarding this issue.

If there is evidence of anti-competitive behaviour by funeral directors, this should be referred to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), the UK’s independent competition authority, for consideration.
