Upcoming events
The initial activities are focusing around the upcoming Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill (DMCC) bill, particularly around the prevention of fake reviews and requirements around subscription service models. This programme will also be consulted when we develop our response to the UK Product Safety Review (expected mid-2023).
Consumer-facing online platforms and subscription service providers will be impacted by consumer rights legislation and should consider participating in this programme to be informed on upcoming legislation and contribute to techUK's inputs to government on these important policy areas.
Online meetings (both internal and government-facing) will take place on an ad-hoc basis in response to policy developments and/or requests from government or proposals from members.
