Unethical Sales Practices

HC Deb 12 July 1995 vol 263 cc640-1W

24. Dr. Goodson-Wickes

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what consultations he has had with London trading standards about unethical sales practices. [32145]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

In December 1994, my Department issued a consultation document to trading standards departments and others on the powers of the Director General of Fair Trading to act against traders whose practices are unfair to consumers. A number of responses have been received from London boroughs' trading standards departments.
