HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 cc180-1W
93. Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether his consultations with assay offices and trade associations on technical details concerning revision of the hall-marking law have been concluded.

Mr. Ridley

Not yet. Preparation for the remaining round of consultations took longer than had been expected, but a paper will be circulated to interested parties later this month for further comment.
