§ 68. Mr. W. Hamiltonasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the recent evidence of unduly high rates of interest being charged by personal credit firms, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for West Fife, whether he will now introduce legislation to limit such interest rates.
§ Mr. J. RodgersNo. While I am aware that there has been some criticism of the rates of interest charged by one firm in Scotland I have no reason to believe that personal credit firms generally are charging excessive rates of interest.
