The Competition Policy, Tourism and Other Service Industries Division was formed in 1980 through the merger of the Competition Policy and the Publishing, Tourism, Films and Distribution Divisions. Competition Policy Division had been established in July 1979 to oversee the review of competition policy and the subsequent legislation.
There were three branches in the Division:- Branch 1 which dealt with monopolies and mergers and the review of competition policy; Branch 2 which dealt with the nationalised industries, newspapers and publishing, prices and restrictive practices; and Branch 3 which dealt with tourism, the hotel and film industry and the distributive and personal service trades.
In 1983 the Division lost responsibility for tourism which moved to the International Aviation and Tourism Division and was renamed the Competition Policy and Service Industries Division. With the creation of the Department of Trade and Industry in 1983 the Division also became concerned with consumer safety in the home and in the purchase of goods and consumer credit and hire, estate agencies and EC competition rules. It was again renamed as the Competition Policy, Consumer Credit and Safety Division. In 1983 the Division was abolished and its work on consumer credit and consumer safety absorbed by the Consumer Affairs Division.
