§ Mr. GibbTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which companies or organisations will be providing and updating the proposed Internet Consumer Gateway; and what is the estimated annual running cost. [93365]
§ Dr. HowellsThe Consumer Gateway was launched at the same time as the "Modern Markets: Confident Consumers" White Paper. It links sources of consumer advice and information, and as such the estimated running costs of maintaining and operating the current site are minimal. My officials will be updating and improving the Gateway, taking note of any feedback we receive from users.
