HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 cc363-4W
Mr. Coombs

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is satisfied with the operation of the regional and local consumer representation and consultation set up under the terms of the Telecommunications Act 1984; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Butcher

The local advisory committees are active in pursuing local consumer problems with the public telecommunications operators and are currently taking part in surveys of call boxes and domestic telephones organised by the Office of Telecommunications.
