§ Mr. Sorensenasked the President of the Board of Trade the approximate increase in the price of drugs and medicines since the beginning of the war; and whether he is satisfied that effective measures have been taken to prevent undue and unnecessary increases in the price of these articles?
§ Sir A. DuncanI am informed that the extent to which the prices of various drugs and medicines have increased since the outbreak of war varies very considerably. As from yesterday drugs and medicines, other than dispensed medicines, have been brought under the Prices of Goods Act.
