HC Deb 14 June 1972 vol 838 cc308-9W
58. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment for what purposes his Department are issuing forms for persons to complete who are purchasing new cars; why the list of questions contain requests for the person's sex, age, occupation and whether the vehicle is being bought by cash or credit; what are the costs involved in issuing these circulars; and under what statutory authority these circulars are being issued.

Mr. Peyton

It was thought that the new form would be helpful to Government, industry and customer.
