Small Print Bill

Key Points

• Introduces a legal minimum print size for defined documents, notably advertising materials and contract papers.
• Applies to documents supplied to consumers and related notices as part of consumer transactions.
• Covers 'connected purposes' within its scope (additional related documents or disclosures).
• Aims to improve readability and reduce confusion caused by very small print.
• Progress: currently at the second reading in the House of Commons, moving through Parliament.

Progress

At the second reading in the Commons; still early in its passage and will need further readings and committee scrutiny.
