§ 12.50 p.m.
§ Lieut.-Colonel Wentworth Schofield (Rochdale)I beg to move, in page 1, line 11, to leave out "words indicating" and to insert "an indication".
I suggest that it might be for the convenience of the Committee to discuss with this Amendment the following Amendment standing in my name, also in page 1, line 11.
Since the Committee stage of the Bill it has been pointed out to me that a trader might not necessarily be caught by the Bill if he advertised his hire-purchase deposit without using any words indicating that a deposit was payable. For instance, he might place an advertisement in a window saying "Cash price £50, or £5 deposit and 24 instalments." This and the following Amendment will ensure that such advertisements will be covered.
§ Mr. Glenvil Hall (Colne Valley)I beg formally to second the Amendment.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§
Further Amendment made: In page 1, line 11, leave out "together with either a statement" and insert:
consisting of or including either an indication".—[Lieut.-Colonel Schofield.]
