HC Deb 02 July 1997 vol 297 c181W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will take action against companies which fail to meet claims for compensation on credit card transactions made overseas. [5690]

Mr. Nigel Griffiths

It is primarily a matter for the individual concerned to take action in such circumstances, through the courts if necessary. In so far as there may be a question of a company's fitness to hold a consumer credit licence, I look to the Director General of Fair Trading to act with his usual vigour.
