HL Deb 27 October 1994 vol 558 cc46-7WA
Lord Mackie of Benshie

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What their plans are for the Trading Standards Service in Scotland.

The Minister of State, Scottish Office (Lord Fraser of Carmyllie)

The Trading Standards Service will remain a local authority function following local government reorganisation in Scotland. It will be for the new unitary authorities to decide how they wish to organise the service in order to best fulfil their statutory duties.
