HC Deb 24 May 1990 vol 173 c364W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the representations he has received on junk mail posted within the United Kingdom and from abroad; and what plans he has to ban such mail.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

I receive a small but steady flow of complaints from individuals about unsolicited mail. Recently, this has included complaints about some mail posted from abroad. Those who complain are primarily concerned about how their names and addresses were obtained.

I have no plans to ban such mail.
