asked the Minister for Trade if he will introduce legislation amending section 14 of the Trades Description Act 1968 so that if confirmation of an airline booking has been received through a travel agent there is an absolute liability on the airline to provide space on the flight booked; and if he will make a statement.

[pursuant to the reply, 17 June 1982, c. 314]: As made clear on 22 January in the debate on the Trade Descriptions (Amendment) Bill, we have no plans at present to amend section 14 of the 1968 Act.
