HC Deb 17 July 1978 vol 954 cc3-4W
31. Mr. Walter Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection when he intends to introduce amending legislation to deal with the safeguard clauses of the Price Code; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hattersley

As is made clear in paragraph 5 of the consultative document on proposals for changes to the Price Code and to the notification and information order, I am still considering the possibility of amendments to the safeguard regulations but have not yet reached a decision. If I do decide to propose changes, there will, of course, be appropriate consultation.
