Pressure Selling
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on Government measures to increase consumer protection against pressure selling.
- Answer
-
The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive prohibits aggressive commercial practices including high-pressure selling techniques that involve lengthy or persistent visits. Legislation implementing this directive will come into force in December 2007. I am currently consulting on implementation options, and am confident that this will help considerably in tackling high-pressure selling practices.
