§ Mr. Roperasked the Secretary of State for Trade if, in his appraisal of the representations on the Office of Fair Trading review of the Bargain Offers Order 1979, he will take full account of the proposal of the Retail Consortium that the order be repealed.
§ Mr. EyreYes. I am grateful to the Retail Consortium and others for telling me their views on the Director General's recommendations. I shall take account of them in considering the Director General's report. I shall, of course, consult interested parties—including the Retail Consortium—if I propose to amend or revoke the order.
