HC Deb 10 July 1990 vol 176 cc137-8W
Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the investigations currently being conducted by the Office of Fair Trading.

Mr. Redwood

It is not practicable to do so. The Director General of Fair Trading's Office conducts a considerable number of inquiries under the competition, consumer, companies and financial services legislation for which he is responsible. It is in the nature of such inquiries that much of this work must be carried out on a confidential basis.
