Mr. Illsley
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will take steps to outlaw vehicle transfer agencies; and whether he will make a statement.
Mr. Leigh
The existing law, in particular the Consumer Credit Act 1974, contains provisions regulating the activities of vehicle transfer agencies. I welcome the action which the Director General of Fair Trading is taking under those provisions.
