§ Sir M. Galpernasked the President of the Board of Trade, is he is aware of the growing practice by commercial firms of posting unsolicited goods to individuals for which the recipient is called upon to pay if the goods are not returned within a relatively short period; and whether he will seek to amend the law so as to make such a recipient not liable for payment if he destroys or otherwise disposes of the goods.
§ Mr. DarlingI am aware of the practice, but the existing law, to which my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General referred in his reply on 30th November, appears to give adequate protection to recipients of unsolicited goods and legislation on the lines suggested does not seem necessary.
