§ Mr. Michael Cocksasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) how his Department will be distributing the consumer advice leaflets on time sharing published on 27 January;
(2) how many consumer advice leaflets on time sharing have been printed by his Department for distribution;
(3) if he will name the three trade associations covering most United Kingdom developers mentioned in his reply to the right hon. Member for Bristol, South on 27 January.
§ Mr. HowardInitially, 100,000 consumer advice leaflets on time sharing were printed, and heavy demand may make a reprint necessary shortly. They have been distributed to Citizens Advice Bureaux, Trading Standards Departments, public libraries, airport information centres and British consular offices in several holiday countries. Copies have also been sent to other interested organisations and trade associations, including those representing the travel and the time share industries.
The three major United Kingdom trade associations in the time share industry, to which I referred in my answer to the hon. Member on 27 January, are the British property Timeshare Association, the European Holiday Timeshare Association and the Timeshare Developers Group.
