Mr. Heppell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade which organisations were consulted by his Department on each of the recommendations of the business deregulation task forces before they were agreed and action proposed in the DTI document, "Deregulation: Cutting the Red Tape".

Mr. Neil Hamilton

Each of the task force recommendations agreed or agreed in principle by the Government has been or will be the subject of appropriate consultation with interested parties.

Dr. Wright

To ask the President of the Board of Trade who are the consumer representatives on the advisory panel and task forces on deregulation.

Mr. Neil Hamilton

The deregulation advisory panel and the seven business deregulation task forces were set up specifically to convey the views of business and did not therefore include any consumer representatives.
