HC Deb 26 June 1978 vol 952 cc403-4W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he is satisfied with the protection afforded to individuals who may be misled, pres- surised or bullied into acting as a guarantor without appreciating the full implication of so doing; and if he will consider tightening the legislation which protects citizens in such matters.

Mr. John Fraser

The Consumer Credit Act 1974, when fully operative, will give adequate protection to guarantors. In particular, I expect regulations to be made under that Act to require security instruments to contain a warning of their implications at the place for the guarantor's signature.
