HC Deb 08 May 1922 vol 153 c1770
11. Mr. KENNEDY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is part of the duties of any Department of the Board to collect information regarding trusts and combines; whether he has any information as to any development towards combination which have taken place since the expiration of the Profiteering Act; and, if so, whether he will publish a return on the subject?

Mr. BALDWIN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the latter part, I am not aware of any special developments towards combination since the expiration of the Profiteering Act, and the answer to the last part is consequently in the negative.
