HC Deb 21 November 1977 vol 939 c451W
Mr. Alan Lee Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether he has referred to the Monopolies Commission the fees and practices of consulting engineers.

Mr. John Fraser

There are no plans to do so at present. But the Director General of Fair Trading is continuing to keep professional practices under review in the light of recent Monopolies and Mergers Commission reports. If my hon. Friend has any views on the desirability of such a reference, perhaps he would care to write to the Director General direct.
