HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c254W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now consider legislation requiring such agencies as travel agents, estate agents, home savers' groups, etc., to hold all moneys received from clients' deposits in a separate trust account to prevent misappropriation.

Mr. Ridley

Much has already been done on a voluntary basis and for the present I should prefer to watch the development of the existing schemes.
