§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will make a statement about the meetings she has had and the representations she has received on the Monopolies and Mergers Commission report on electrical retailers.[15393]
§ Mr. Nigel GriffithsMy right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade and I have received a number of representations regarding the Monopolies and Mergers Commission report on domestic electrical goods.
While Ministers have not met those making representations, DTI officials have met industry bodies and representatives of smaller electrical retailers. Therefore, my right hon. Friend and I have a clear picture of the concerns of suppliers and retailers.
