HC Deb 22 October 1979 vol 972 c52W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Trade which women's organisations were consulted before the consumer campaign was launched on 25 September; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

I had explored my ideas on broadening the basis of consultation with consumers at meetings with both the National Federation of Women's Institutes and the National Union of Townswomen's Guilds before my announcement on 25 September. Indeed, the first survey undertaken by the National Union of Townswomen's Guilds was well under way by then.
