Consumer Advisory Service (Hansard, 13 March 1952)

HC Deb 13 March 1952 vol 497 c1545 1545

§ 13. Miss Elaine Burton
asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made by the Departmental Committee set up to consider the proposal that a consumer advisory service should be established.

§ Mr. P. Thorneycroft
No such committee has been set up.

§ Miss Burton
As the predecessor of the right hon. Gentleman said in July last that such a committee would be set up if time permitted, does not the right hon. Gentleman agree that now that the Utility scheme has been scrapped such a service is essential to the consumers of this country?

§ Mr. Thorneycroft
The question of the Utility scheme is something which we certainly shall be discussing later.
