HC Deb 02 May 1977 vol 931 c2W
19. Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what further steps he now proposes to take to implement the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

Mr. John Fraser

I hope shortly to make effective provisions imposing on creditors joint and several liability in respect of misrepresentations and breaches of contract by suppliers as well as those prohibiting the canvassing of cash loans, the sending of circulars about credit and hire to young people and the unsolicited sending of credit cards and similar items. Later this year I hope to make requirements about disclosure in credit and hire advertisements.
