HC Deb 20 May 1969 vol 784 cc76-7W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many complaints he has received concerning inertia selling; and whether he now intends to take steps to stop the abuses.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Fifteen so far this year. So far the nature and the volume of these complaints does not suggest that further legislation could provide a suitable remedy, but we shall continue to watch the position carefully.
