§ Mr. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what advice he has given about the establishment of consumer advice services by local authorities; how many authorities in Wales have 344W established such services; and whether he will list those authorities.
§ Sir G. HoweAs I told the House on 13th December, I am concerned to seek ways of securing the establishment of a network of local consumer advisory services that will be comprehensive and nationwide. In Wales and Monmouthshire, there are 19 local weights and measures departments which provide consumer advice in varying degrees, and also 37 citizens' advice bureaux, most of which are supported by local authorities.
