HC Deb 10 January 1977 vol 923 c366W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will initiate discussions with the appropriate EEC Commissioners to establish closer liaison with consumer protection organisations within the Community.

Mr. John Fraser

The EEC Commission convened a symposium of representatives of European consumer organisations in Brussels on 2nd and 3rd December 1976. Officials from my Department and the Office of Fair Trading were present as observers. I do not doubt that the newly-appointed Commissioners will be concerned to maintain close contact with organisations representing consumers within the Community.
