§ Mr. HeddleTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what assessment he has made of the impact of the publication, "Home Sweet Home," a guide for first-time buyers, issued by the Office of Fair Trading; and whether he has any plans to make its availability more widely known through an advertising campaign in the national and regional press, and in magazines and journals specifically catering for the first-time buyer age-group.
§ Mr. ForthI am advised that this publication has been well received by the public. One million copies of the edition applicable to England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 200,000 copies of the edition applicable to Scotland have been distributed.
The question of publicity for the leaflet is a matter for the Director General of Fair Trading. I will ask him to write to my hon. Friend.
