HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 c255W
42. Mr. Prior

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the fall in the sale of mopeds due to Government restrictions on hire-purchase; and whether he will ease these restrictions.

Mr. Callaghan

The object of the July measures was to reduce demand based on credit facilities and for the time being this kind of restraint on consumption will have to stay.
