Conclusion (the committee's words)
We were disappointed by the Department for Business and Trade’s limited engagement with our inquiry. The Department did not provide the Committee with oral ministerial representation, despite ample notice. Its subsequent written submission was brief and, importantly, did not answer the questions in the Committee’s call for evidence in any detail. We are unconvinced by the Department’s explanation that ongoing consultations prevented it from engaging with our inquiry further.
