HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 cc396-7W
Mr. Fortescue

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made in the consideration of the possibility of legislating for compulsory rebates for early settlement of hire-purchase and credit-sale agreements; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Crosland

I 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.
