HC Deb 14 March 1972 vol 833 cc73-4W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will name in the Official Report those local authorities which provide a consumer protection bureau.

Mr. Ridley

I have been asked to reply.

All local weights and measures authorities maintain departments to enforce the laws relating to consumer protection for which they are responsible. Local authorities may also provide consumer advice in varying degree, either direct or through their support for citizens' advice bureaux.
