HC Deb 09 November 1998 vol 319 c54W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations he has received relating to unacceptable practices in doorstep selling; and if he will make a statement. [58138]

Dr. Howells

[holding answer 5 November 1998]My Department has received a number of representations from consumers about unacceptable practices in doorstep selling. The DTI recently consulted on proposals to strengthen consumer protection in this area. I hope to make Regulations by the end of the year to implement these proposals.
