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:
