§ Mr. Fortescueasked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made in the consideration of the possibility of legislating for compulsory 397W rebates for early settlement of hire-purchase and credit-sale agreements; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CroslandI would not expect to legislate on this point, if it proved to be practicable to do so, except as part of a general revision of hire-purchase legislation. This is not at present contemplated.
