HC Deb 06 March 1978 vol 945 cc450-1W
36. Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection how many second-hand car dealers will need credit-broking licences; and whether malpractices in car sales will be taken into account when the licences are considered.

Mr. John Fraser

The great majority of such dealers introduce their customers to sources of credit and will therefore need licences; all relevant business practices of applicants will be taken into account by the Director General of Fair Trading in considering their fitness to have licences.
