HC Deb 10 July 1986 vol 101 c257W
38. Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what response he has made to the report from the consumers' committee calling for a new consumers' body to be established in relation to his Ministry.

51. Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to improve consumer representation within his ambit of responsibility.

Mrs. Fenner

This recommendation in the report has been carefully considered, but my right hon. Friend the Minister is not convinced that the existing extensive arrangements for consulting consumers on matters of concern to his Department would be materially improved by the addition of such a body.
