§ Mr. Cordleasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection, in view of the effect that implementing the studies of the Working Party on Metrological Control Systems may have on the 645W wine and spirit industry, and as the Wine and Spirit Association represents some 85 per cent. of all importing, distributing and retailing of wines and spirits in the United Kingdom, if she will reconsider her decision to omit it from the working party.
Mr. Alan WilliamsI have already assured the Wine and Spirit Association that the working party will pay particular attention to the special problems of the association's trade and will be asking for representations from the association at the appropriate time.
