HC Deb 17 December 1979 vol 976 c35W
32. Mr. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what is his policy on the appropriate role that the EEC should play in consumer protection.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

I believe that the Community can make a valuable contribution in this field. I shall continue, however, to press that it should in the future concentrate on those consumer matters which have a real Community dimension.
