Dr. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development whether, in considering the recommendation made by the Molony Committee on Consumer Protection that the Board of Trade should have power 53W to prohibit consumer trade in designated goods unless they bear a label or are accompanied by a written statement conveying prescribed information, he will take steps to ensure that written and broadcast advertisements of the goods in question contain the necessary prescribed information.
§ Mr. D. PriceThe Molony Committee in paragraph 758 of its Final Report described this suggestion as impracticable. My right hon. Friend is of course, giving due weight to this carefully considered conclusion in reaching his own view on this matter.
