HC Deb 26 July 1971 vol 822 c27W
75. Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now introduce legislation in regard to the sale of refrigerators so that retail establishments can be responsible for the removal and disposal of a model no longer needed by the purchaser; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend sees no justification for imposing such an obligation on retailers. A householder need only ask his local council if he wishes to dispose of an old refrigerator.
