Consumer Rights

I should perhaps have intervened a little earlier in response to the query by the hon. Member for Richmond Park (Susan Kramer). My understanding of the legislation on doorstep selling is that it offers the same right as in any other case to reject goods if they are not as they were described. The doorstep selling law also gives people a seven-day cooling-off period after the making of the agreement, in which to cancel it. I hope that that will deal with the concern raised by the hon. Lady; but if she or any other hon. Member taking part in the debate has further information or concerns about the working of the provisions, I shall be happy to discuss them in more detail.
