HC Deb 26 February 1982 vol 18 c512W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, further to the reply given to the hon. Member for Hammersmith, North (Mr. Soley) Official Report, 16 March 1981, c. 5, whether he will refer to the Director General of Fair Trading the practice known as red-lining being adopted by certain nationalised industries.

Mr. Eyre

I am not aware of any general grounds for concern in this area; but I am sure that the appropriate nationalised industry consumer councils, as well as the Director General of Fair Trading, would be glad to hear of any particular problems that my hon. Friend has in mind.
