HC Deb 16 July 1982 vol 27 c496W
Mr. Ancram

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received regarding the regulations covering the buying of cars on hire purchase.

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

The president of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Limited has written to the Prime Minister. Representations have been received from other motor trade bodies and institutions involved in hire purchase in the past, and from time to time there are letters from other members of the public. The regulations themselves are the responsibility of the Minister for Trade, and we keep them under review.
