HC Deb 19 May 1972 vol 837 c238W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will ask the police to warn residents of North Down against salesmen for magazine subscriptions, which are not delivered, who pose as students taking part in a competition for a foreign holiday.

Mr. Onslow

No. I believe that adverse publicity for such practices in the local Press, radio and television would he a more appropriate way of emphasising that it is advisable to order magazines or other publications from newsagents or booksellers, rather than from doorstep salesmen.
