HC Deb 10 July 1972 vol 840 cc235-6W
47. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he intends to introduce legislation to provide for the better protection of consumers' interests.

53. Mr. Edward Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to promote legislation to provide protection to consumers.

Mr. Onslow

It is our intention as soon as possible to introduce legislation to strengthen the protection given to the consumer by the Sale of Goods Act.

51. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will appoint an expert committee to examine and report on measures which would provide greater protection for consumers.

Mr. Onslow

No. I am always ready to consider proposals for new measures to protect consumers' interests but I do not think an expert committee is needed at present.
