HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 c2207
77. Mr. BROMFIELD

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state in how many cases chairmen, directors, or officers of companies have been fined or imprisoned under Section 1 (5) of the Profiteering Act?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Bridge-man)

The reports received from local committees do not give particulars of any directors or other officers of companies having been fined or imprisoned under Section 1 (5) of the Profiteering Act.

Mr. RAFFAN

Is it not a fact that the Profiteering Act is now a dead letter?
