HC Deb 28 February 1961 vol 635 c106W
21. Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has now received the report of the Newspaper Proprietors Association regarding misleading advertisements for television sets and other domestic appliances which are second-hand or over three years old; whether he will publish this report; and what further action he will now take.

Mr. N. Macpherson

My right hon. Friend understands that discussions between the Newspaper Proprietors Association and certain advertisers are still going on, but that for the meantime the Association has recommended its Members not to accept advertisements of the kind to which the hon. Member draws attention, unless the age of the goods is clearly stated
