§ Ms Estelle MorrisTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take to encourage greater public awareness of the provisions of part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 following the Consumer Associations's study entitled "Unsafe Products: How the Consumer Protection Act Works for Consumers." [13981]
Mr. John M. TaylorWe are giving careful consideration to this report, which was, in fact, produced by the National Consumer Council. My Department publishes a number of explanatory guides on consumer protection legislation—one of them a guide to the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act 1987—aimed at promoting a better understanding by businesses of then-responsibilities and liabilities under the legislation, and making consumers more aware of their rights.
