Former MP for Rochdale
I beg to move, in page 1, line 11, to leave out "words indicating" and to insert "an indication". I suggest that it might be for the convenience of the Committee to discuss with this Amendment the following Amendment standing in my name, also in page 1, line 11. Since the Committee stage of the Bill it has been pointed out to me that a trader might not necessarily be caught by the Bill if...
One of the principal objects of the Bill is to prevent misleading advertisements, advertisements which highlight certain parts of the terms and make it almost impossible in many cases to read other parts of the terms. The whole essence of the Bill is to prevent these misleading advertisements. If we accept the Amendment, we shall go right back to the position in which we are today. We should...
I beg to move in page 2, line 15, to leave out: actual figures as to price and to insert "details of payments".

As these are purely drafting Amendments, I do not propose to speak at length. In the Standing Committee hon. Members on both sides saw difficulty in the use of the word "actual", and I gave an undertaking that, on Report, I...
I have been asked why I withdrew my name from the Amendment on the Order Paper. As I explained in Committee, ever since the Bill was published I have been beset by all sorts of members of the trade on the question of the cash price. I have received many arguments in favour of showing the cash price and many arguments against it. In Committee I expressed my own views. I do not care whether the...
I beg to move, in page 2, line 40, to leave out from "of" to "sum" in line 44 and to insert "a price or." It will be remembered that in Standing Committee the hon. Member for Lewisham, North (Mr. MacDermot) queried the use of the expressions "hire-purchase price" and "total purchase price" without going to the lengths of defining them later in the Bill. As these two expressions appeared...
I beg to move, in page 3, line 14, to leave out "where an advertisement relates" and to insert: in the case of an advertisement of goods.
