I am advised by the National Consumer Agency that it has taken no prosecutions to date under Section 83 of the Consumer Protection Act 2007. Section 83 of the Act was drafted in conjunction with the Office of the Attorney General and in that regard I am satisfied that the drafting of this Section conforms to the accepted practice and has been validly drafted. I have no plans to amend Section 83 of the Act. If the Deputy has any particular concerns on this matter she can contact me directly.
