asked the President of the Board of Trade what reply he has given to the representations based on the survey published by the Manchester Consumer Group on the services and facilities that garages provide for motorists, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will make representations to the Consumer Council to undertake a study of this matter.

I have seen this survey, but have received no representations about it. The Consumer Council is an independent body and it is for it to decide what questions to study.
