HC Deb 28 March 1972 vol 834 cc54-5W
Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is satisfied with the working of the Trade Descriptions Act in relation to advertisements in the home mortgage field, particularly in relation to those purporting to offer 100 per cent. mortgages; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

I am satisfied that the Act is adequate to deal with statements that really are false or misleading about home mortgage facilities, including any made in advertisements.
