HC Deb 13 July 1973 vol 859 c459W
Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will now seek powers to make it illegal to send out invoices for entries in trade directories when no such request has been made.

Sir G. Howe

I am aware that solicitations for entries in certain trade directories continue to give rise to complaints, and I am considering whether further steps should be taken to deal with this matter. But it is not yet clear that there is a need for new legislation.
