Mr William Beach And One Day Sales
Gordon Prentice
1995-10-23
that this House utterly condemns the misrepresentation and underhand practices that characterise the 'one day sales' put on by William Beach of 30 Pitville Court, Albert Road, Cheltenham, in which members of the public are conned into believing the boxes of goods they are buying unseen contain quality merchandise whereas in reality they are getting cheap and shoddy goods; notes that sales were held at the Great Marsden Hotel, Nelson, and at the North Valley Community Centre, Colne, in which people were led to believe they were buying bankrupt stock; sympathises with Mrs Lana Ellerton who ended up with two pillows and a clock, and who says people were put under pressure to buy goods they did not really want; regrets that pensioners and others were persuaded to hand over good money for worthless rubbish; further notes that Beach was previously a director of Gloucester Fancy Goods Ltd. and J.B. Sales (Gloucester) Ltd., both now dissolved, and is currently a director of Table Top Marketing Ltd. and Steve's Cash and Carry; believes that travelling salespeople who do not operate from a permanent trading standards office; calls on the Government to review the law on consumer protection and how it can be more effectively applied; considers that Beach is an unscrupulous and wholly disreputable fraudster and cheat; and urges people who consider themselves to be victims of misrepresentation to seek redress in the small claims court.
