HC Deb 05 May 1988 vol 132 c540W
Dr. Reid

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what representations he has received seeking new legislation to protect consumers; and how he intends to respond.

Mr. Butcher

Suggestions for new legislation to protect consumers are received from a wide group of organisations and individuals. I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 4 February to the hon. Member for Edinburgh, Central (Mr. Darling), which set out information on plans for new legislation for the protection of consumers.
