HC Deb 20 May 1997 vol 294 c42W
Mr. Gordon Prentic

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans she has to introduce further regulation of one-day sales. [265]

Mr. Nigel Griffiths

I am aware that some one-day sales have raised concerns about exploitation of consumers and strongly support the action some trading standards departments have taken to warn consumers of their dangers. I have instituted an urgent review of this and will consider the need for further regulation.
