Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development if he will refer the matter of trading stamps to the Consumer Council.

Mr. Heath

The Consumer Council has recently published certain views on this subject. As I told hon. Members for Wood Green (Mrs. Butler) and East Ham, South (Mr. Oram) on 5th December, I am now studying these views.

Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development whether he will take steps to ensure that trading stamps shall be encashable.
