HC Deb 22 July 1958 vol 592 c24W
75. Mr. Willey

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now relax the present restrictions on hire purchase, in view of recent relaxations in credit restrictions.

Mr. Erroll

As my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer said in the House on 3rd July, the relaxations to which the hon. Member refers do not extend to the direct controls over hire purchase. My right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade is, however, keeping these under review.
