I am so glad my hon. Friend intervened because I would like to quote back to him some things he said in the previous debate we had on the Consumer Rights Bill, on Report on 13 May 2014:
“I think that one of the fundamental rights of the consumer is to know what they are purchasing.”
That is what this measure proposes. [Interruption.] If I may continue, he went on to say that
“legislation requiring labelling is essential for consumers to exercise their right to make an informed decision.”—[Official Report, 13 May 2014; Vol. 580, c. 672-73.]
My goodness, he could be giving this speech for me, Mr Deputy Speaker!
On mobile phone internet usage coverage, which is important, my hon. Friend said on 16 June 2014:
“The lack of transparency and clarity that has persisted in the market has allowed consumers to be deceived.”
That is amazing; it could apply to the area under discussion now. He went on to say:
“It seems like the voluntary ways of ensuring greater transparency...have failed.”—[Official Report, 16 June 2014; Vol. 582, c. 896.]
He said that about mobile phones, but why should it not apply to this debate?
