§ Sir Donald Kaberryasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will initiate the processes to repeal the Price Marking (Bargain Offers) Order 1979 No. 364 especially in view of its wording and the probable inabilily to pursue a successful prosecution for infringement of the order.
§ Mr. EyreNo. I intend to retain this order as I believe it will be of genuine benefit to consumers by providing protection from misleading claims whilst at the same time allowing businesses to compete honestly through the use of a wide range of informative claims.
