§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what action she has taken to encourage local authorities to use their consumer advice centres to publish local price information; and with what result.
Mr. Alan WilliamsWe have made it clear on many occasions that this is a most useful service which we would like to see more widely developed, although we appreciate the financial constraints. I understand that about half the centres set up now provide local price information.
