HC Deb 21 May 1924 vol 173 cc2198-9
55. Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE

asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government to adopt the suggestion recently put forward to investigate the question of profiteering and middlemen's profits; and whether he will recommend the appointment of a Royal Commission to consider the whole matter?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Lord Privy Seal on the 8th May, in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for East Bristol (Mr. Baker), to which I have at present nothing to add.
