HC Deb 09 March 1982 vol 19 c353W
Mr. Iain Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if, in view of the incidence of fraud in cases where goods advertised from an accommodation address are not supplied after receipt of payment, he will seek to legislate to provide that such advertising may be carried out only with appropriate safeguards.

Dr. Vaughan

I have no plans to do so. Certain safeguards exist already in the legal requirements applying to mail order and consumer credit advertising; and in the codes of advertising practice administered by the Independent Broadcasting Authority and the Advertising Standards Authority.
