OFT chairman guides legislation through Keys
Legislation is progressing to outlaw 'cold-calling' sales on the Island.
The Consumer Protection Bill's clauses went under scrutiny in the House of Keys earlier this week.
If passed, it will make aggressive, unsolicited marketing illegal here - with traders who flout the law can be fined up to £10,000.
Office of Fair Trading Chairman David Quirk explained what constitutes a cold call:
Cooil Road closed due to RTC
Police dealing with an incident in the area
Police appeal for witnesses into Mountain Road crash
Local man transferred to UK for treatment as a result of his injuries
Man admits cannabis supply offences linked to operation 'Eagle Eye’
21-year-old’s involvement was 'not insignificant'
Businesses feel strain from 25 percent Steam Packet fuel surcharge
Chamber calls for government intervention as freight costs rise across the Island
