HC Deb 26 November 1969 vol 792 c85W
49. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has considered the recommendations, copies of which are in his possession, of the Consumer Council and the Advertising Standards Association on inertia selling; if he will now introduce legislation to prevent this quite widespread practice; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

I do not so far see a legislative solution which would provide adequate protection for all the interests concerned. But I should be glad to discuss this complicated question further with my hon. Friend or the bodies to which he refers.
