HC Deb 26 April 1920 vol 128 cc821-2
12. Mr. SWAN

asked what action it is proposed to take in connection with the finding of the Sub-Committee set up under the Profiteering Act which investigated the electric lamp industry?

Sir R. HORNE

Certain representations have been received from the Electric Lamp Manufacturers' Association of Great Britain, Limited, concerning the Report of the Sub-Committee appointed by the Standing Committee on Trusts to conduct an investigation into the Electric Lamp Industry.

These representations have been referred to the Sub-Committee in order that they might consider whether they desire to modify their Report in any respect in consequence of the representations.

The Sub-Committee's reply was only received on Saturday afternoon, and until I have had an opportunity of considering it, I am unable to make a definite statement on the matter.

Mr. A. SHORT

Does it agree with the original Report?

Sir R. HORNE

I cannot even say that.
