§ Mr. Proctorasked the Minister for Trade what representations he has received from, and what discussions he has had with, local authorities concerning public funding of citizens advice bureaux.
§ Dr. VaughanI have received a number of representations from local authorities, the great majority of which I am pleased to say express full confidence, as I have done myself, in the efficiency and impartiality of the local bureaux. These have not been discussed with the authorities concerned, but I made the Government's position on bureau funding completely clear in the House on 22 and 27 April.
