§ 63. Mr. A. SHORTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the exceptional profits being made in the rubber trade, he will recommend inquiry under the Profiteering Act?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe Central Committee have in hand at present a large number of investigations, but I will bring the hon. Member's suggestion to their notice. I would, however, remind him that, in so far as rubber is sold by auction, it is outside the scope of the Profiteering Act.
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANWe are contemplating amending the Profiteering Act.
