HC Deb 13 November 1972 vol 846 c11W
53. Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now seek to amend the Trade Descriptions Act consequent upon the recent judgment in the High Court delivered by the Lord Chief Justice.

55. Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to amend the Trade Descriptions Act to include within its provisions representations as to future services.

Sir G. Howe

Until it has been possible fully to assess the implications of the judgment in the case of Beckett v. Cohen it would be premature to reach any decision on amendment of the Trade Descriptions Act, 1968.
