Topic: Future of Britain - Consumer Regulation

What can be bought and sold within the EU single market is determined by the European Union, which also regulates how some services are sold. Now that the UK has left the EU it will have to decide these issues for itself.

This is one of the topics covered by our project on the Future of Britain after the EU referendum: https://www.whatukthinks.org/eu/future-of-britain-project/
