HC Deb 05 May 1919 vol 115 c563
17. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the present prices of clothes and boots; whether such prices are justified by the cost of the labour and material required; and, if not, whether steps will be taken to prevent profiteering in these articles of prime human necessity?

Sir A. GEDDES

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which was given to the hon. Member for Morpeth on 1st May.
