HC Deb 05 February 1913 vol 47 c2197
48. Mr. F. HALL

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the growth of monopolies in the production and supply of many of the necessities of life and the urgency of the question, he will introduce early legislation to deal with the matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not know-to what particular monopolies the hon. Member refers, but if he will submit to me any practical proposals they shall receive due consideration.

Mr. F. HALL

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member must find another time for replying.
