HC Deb 02 May 1977 vol 931 cc1-2W
17. Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will refer to the Director General of Fair Trading alleged abuses against consumers at one-day sales.

Mr. John Fraser

The Director General of Fair Trading is already considering this matter. If he is satisfied that such sales adversely affect the economic interests of consumers in a manner set out in Part II of the Fair Trading Act it is open to him to propose a suitable order under that Act.
