HC Deb 01 December 1987 vol 123 c506W
Mr. Peter Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to define the proportion of total value of sales by a shop, other than a licensed sex shop, for it to be regarded as sufficiently significant for the sex shop licensing provisions to be applied.

Mr. Renton

We do not believe that such legislation would be helpful.

Mr. Peter Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received from local authorities on the increase in the number of shops, other than licensed sex shops, selling sex toys; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

None.
