HC Deb 30 October 1997 vol 299 c869W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will list her Department's prioritises in relation to consumer affairs for the United Kingdom presidency of the EU. [12985]

Mr. Nigel Griffiths

While preparations are well under way to conduct a successful presidency of the Consumer Council, with over a third of the Luxembourg presidency still to run, we have not finalised our plans. I am to pursue the Government's policy of ensuring that UK consumers achieve the best possible consumer protection.
