HC Deb 17 March 1970 vol 798 c97W
69. Mr. Biffen

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to receive the Report of the Crowther Inquiry into credit control; and if he will take interim action to lessen the impact of selective forms of credit control such as hire-purchase restrictions.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

We expect to receive the Crowther Comittee's report within the next six months. It would be premature to ease hire-purchase controls at this stage.
