HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 c703
75. Mr. LONGDEN

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can report any progress that has been made by the committee of inquiry into the proprietary trades' boycott of supplies of certain articles required by co-operative societies?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

I presume that my hon. Friend has in mind the Committee which was appointed in March last to consider practices which result in with-holding supplies from particular retail traders or prevent re-sale except upon conditions. I would accordingly refer him to the reply which I gave yesterday to the question asked on this subject by the hon. Member for East Willesden (Mr. D. G. Somerville), of which I am sending him a copy.
