HC Deb 28 February 2001 vol 363 c704W
Mr. Drew

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to investigate credit companies' power to blacklist individuals. [150852]

Dr. Howells

I do not have any current plans to investigate such companies. The Director General of Fair Trading has a duty under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 to review and advise my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry about developments in the UK credit market. If he makes any recommendations, I will study them carefully.
