§ 29. Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether he will make a statement on the proposed EEC directive for contracts negotiated away from the place of business.

But our attitude to the detail of the draft will need to take account of consultations my Department is now conducting with representative bodies in the United Kingdom.
