§ Mr. Whitakerasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will introduce legislation to enact that any unsolicited goods sent shall be deemed to be an unconditional gift to the recipient who may dispose of them as he wishes.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyUnder the law as it stands, the recipient of unsolicited goods is under no obligation either to pay for them or to return them. I am considering whether there are any additional safeguards which would be practicable and which would not cause injustice, for example to traders who misdirect goods in error.
