HC Deb 25 October 1971 vol 823 c228W
47. Dr. Gilbert

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is now in a position to state the Government's intentions for implementing the recommendations of the Crowther Report on Consumer Credit.

Mr. John Davies

No. I accept that there is need for reform of the law in the consumer credit field. The proposals of the Crowther Committee are complex, and I am still receiving views from the main interests involved. I hope to make shortly a statement of the Government's general intent.
