HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 c178W
84. Mr. Marples

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what Government-sponsored organisations carry out appropriate work for the consumer.

Mr. Ridley

Within the Department's field of responsibility there are a number of consumer consultative councils for the nationalised industries, as to which I would refer my right hon. Friend to the answers given to the right hon. Member for Aberavon (Mr. John Morris) on 11th December last. In addition, grant aid is given to central work in support of the Citizens Advice Bureaux service, a service which includes advice to consumers with individual problems.
