HC Deb 15 April 1965 vol 710 c229W
Mr. Rose

asked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the result of his inquiry into the methods of door-to-door salesmen; and what information he has, as a result, of the proportion of the products sold by such salesmen having a purchase price of less than £30.

Mr. Jay

Various methods of door-to-door selling have been brought to my notice, and I am watching the situation. I have not yet, however, seen sufficient evidence of abuse to justify a comprehensive inquiry. I have no specific information on the proportion of products sold below £30.
