HC Deb 24 January 1977 vol 924 c471W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what checks he makes on his Department's activities to ensure that demands for information from private businesses are neither too frequent nor too obscure.

Mr. Maclennan

My Department is very conscious of the need not to place undue burdens on private businesses arising from demands or requests for information. If, however, the hon. Member has a particular case in mind I should be grateful if he will let me have the details.
