Local authorities are responsible in the UK for the enforcement of trading standards and consumer protection legislation. The paper describes the role of the Local Authorities Coordinating Body on Trading Standards (LACOTS) in coordinating the work of trading standards authorities, environmental health directors, and public analysts. LACOTS has additional functions as a pressure group to encourage the writing of laws as clearly and simply as possible, and as a liaison body with other European States in relation to EEC regulations and their enforcement.
