§ 21. Sir WILLIAM BULLasked the President of the Local Government Board if he will consider the desirability of initiating legislation whereby itinerant coal merchants will be compelled to use enamelled iron plates or some such device to prevent them from raising the prices chalked up on their notice boards as they journey from street to street?
Mr. ROBERTSONMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The matter is one that could, I think, be dealt with by by-laws made by a local authority under the Weights and Measures Acts.
