HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 cc383-4W
Mr. Irvine

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what consultations he is holding in relation to the European Community investment services directive.

Mr. Redwood

I am publishing today a consultative document on the investment services directive which seeks views on this important single market measure. I have arranged for copies of the document to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

In the negotiations to date on the directive, the Department has sought the views of regulatory bodies, organisations representing the United Kingdom investment services industry and of consumer groups.
