§ 58. Mr. Scott-Hopkinsasked the President of the. Board of Trade if he will introduce legislation to ensure that a cooling-off period of 48 hours, similar to the existing hire-purchase provisions, is made mandatory before any sale by door-to-door salesmen is concluded.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyNo. The publicity given to this type of selling has forewarned many people of the possible dangers and I do not think that legislation to provide a cooling-off period would be justified.
