§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if we will consider restricting trainee dispensers of hearing aids from calling at the homes of potential buyers and confining that method of selling of dispensers who are fully qualified to be on the register of the Hearing Aid Council.
§ Mr. John FraserThe code of practice drawn up by the Hearing Aid Council allows trainee dispensers to dispense hearing aids only to persons who have been examined in the presence of or by a registered dispenser. If my hon. Friend has evidence that this part of the code is not working satisfactorily I should be grateful if he would let me have details.
