§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Minister for Trade whether he has yet received the report from the Director General of Fair Trading about the operation of the exemptions from the Consumer Credit (Advertisements) Regulations 1980 and the Consumer Credit (Quotations) Regulations, to which he referred in his answer to the hon. Member for Ipswich (Mr. Weetch) on 28 June; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. VaughanYes. I am grateful to the Director-General for the thorough review which he has made of the working of these exemptions, and for his advice about what amendments should be made to the regulations. The Director-General is publishing his report today and I have placed copies in the Library. I shall consider the report and consult interested parties before deciding what action to take.
