§ Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps have been taken, in view of the continuation of the practice, to curb the practices in connection with the sale of magazine subscriptions referred to in his Answer to the then right hon. Member for Chislehurst of 10th December, 1964.
§ Mr. DarlingAs I told the then right hon. Member for Chislehurst in October 1965 the police investigations did not disclose evidence which would warrant criminal proceedings. As a result of the publicity given to this type of selling, it appears to have diminished, although a few cases have been brought to my notice recently. If the hon. Member is aware of any cases which seem to warrant investigation, perhaps he would let me know.
