Administrative / biographical background

In March 1973, the Consumer Credit Branch was formed from the DTI's Industrial and Commercial Policy Division 2 (IC2). The new branch, reporting directly to a Deputy Secretary, was established in order to take forward the work arising from the recommendations of the Crowther Committee Report on Consumer Credit (Cmnd. 4596). In March 1974, the functions of this branch were transferred to the newly created Department of Prices and Consumer Protection while retaining the original name. From August 1977 it became Branch 2 of the newly formed Consumer Services, Commodities and Consumer Credit Division where it remained until the Department of Prices and Consumer Protection merged with the Department of Trade. Consumer Credit Branch then became part of the new Consumer Affairs Division
