HC Deb 25 October 1955 vol 545 c9W
86. Miss Burton

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to amend the Hire-Purchase Act, 1954, so that not only the cash price but the amount of the deposit, the number of instalments and the amount of each must be stated clearly on all postal and newspaper advertising.

Mr. Walker-Smith

My right hon. Friend is not yet satisfied that legislation of this kind is necessary, but he is considering the matter further in consultation with the trade associations concerned.
