HC Deb 04 August 1919 vol 119 c3
4. Mr. EVELYN CECIL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can see his way more fully to control or regulate the price of cloth as sold by the manufacturers, so as to enable not only large dealers in cloth goods to benefit by the control price but also smaller ones?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE(Sir Auckland Geddes)

The right hon. Member appears to be under some misapprehension. There is no Government control of cloth. The issue price of wool is the same to all manufacturers.
