To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proposals in the report of the UK Competition Commission on car pricing in the UK published on 10 April(a) have been and (b) will be implemented. [132515]

Dr. Howells

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry made clear in his announcements of 10 April 2000,Official Report, columns 39–41W, and 12 June what action he was taking in response to the Competition Commission report on the supply of new cars. The order under the Fair Trading Act 1973 implementing the remedies will be made when the responses to the public consultation, which closed on 14 July, have been considered.
