§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, in view of the hardship caused by credit rating organisations which give false credit ratings without revealing the source of such false ratings, if he will consider introducing legislation to compel such organisations to give their sources of information; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir G. HoweClauses 133 to 136 of the Consumer Credit Bill will provide the individual with a right of access to all information held about him by such organisations and a means of requesting deletion or amendment of incorrect 255W information or amplification of their records by a correction notice. Should any difference persist between the individual and the organisation, this will be referrable to the proposed Consumer Credit Commissioner for adjudication.
