HC Deb 03 April 1919 vol 114 c1365
37. Mr. SUGDEN

asked what arrangements are being made to establish the future course of values in the cotton and woollen trades, as, although the world's markets are practically empty, manufacturers cannot make the necessary provision to supply such markets because of such fluctuating values?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

It is impossible for the Government to control prices in the world's markets, and any attempt to do so would, I am sure, be most unwise.
