HC Deb 20 November 1987 vol 122 cc723-4W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether the guidelines set forth by the Office of Fair Trading are subject to review or appeal; and whether, in view of the number of new cases, he has received further complaints about the operation of the guidelines.

Mr. Maude

The recommendations contained in the Office of Fair Trading's May 1986 review of the distribution of newspapers and periodicals are a matter for the Director General of Fair Trading. I understand that his office continues to receive a large number of representations about the wholesale supply of newspapers, and he is keeping the situation under close review.
