Consultation description

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) asked consumers, businesses and other interested parties to share their views and experiences of buying or selling green heating or insulation products by responding to questionnaires, in order to inform its understanding of potential consumer protection issues in this sector and how businesses could be better supported to meet their responsibilities under consumer protection law.

This consultation is now closed.
