HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 cc311-2W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he intends to make an order under section 8 of the Trades Description Act 1968 requiring all imported spares for motor vehicles to be marked with an indication of the country of origin.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

I have no present intention to do so, but will bear this matter in mind following the implementation he will refer the brewery industry to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

Monopoly references are normally made by the Director General of Fair Trading, who takes the initiative in such decisions. If the hon. Member has evidence of parallel pricing perhaps he would care to write to the Director General direct.
