asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what regulations have been made under the Unsolicited Goods and Services (Amendment) Act to deal with the abuses of false invoices for unordered entries in trade directories existent and non-existent; and what steps are being taken to ensure that the provisions of these are widely known.

The Unsolicited Goods and Services (Invoices etc.) Regulations 1975, which were laid before Par- liament on 9th May 1975, came into operation on 30th May. Publicity was given to them in the Press and on radio at that time, and some trade associations have also drawn their members' attention to them.
