§ Mr. Bishopasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the alternative organisations to which he referred in his announcement of 27th October last as doing the work of the Consumer Council; if he will give their functions; and if he will seek, in the public interest, to give greater publicity to their existence and aims.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantThe announcement did not state that other organisations were doing the work of the Consumer Council, but that, taking other developments into account, an adequate advancement and presentation of the consumers' interests no longer requires a Government-sponsored Consumer Council.
