HC Deb 13 November 1972 vol 846 c6W
39. Dr. Gilbert

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will seek powers to limit the liability of holders of credit cards where those cards have been stolen or mislaid.

Sir G. Howe

I am considering doing so as part of proposed legislation on consumer credit.

60. Mr. David Stoddart

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now introduce legislation to provide that bank credit cards are sent only to those who apply for them.

Sir G. Howe

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply earlier today to a similar Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Edgbaston (Mrs. Knight).
