Lord Clement-Jones

The Minister of State, Department of Trade and Industry

The decision to undertake an investigation into practices in the private medical insurance and healthcare market was taken independently by the Director General of Fair Trading (DGFT). It is a matter for him to decide whether to make a referral to the Competition Commission.
