Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the recent tendency towards the creation of monopolies and rings in industry and trade; and whether he will consider the appointment of a Departmental Committee to inquire into the effect of such monopolies and rings upon the price of important commodities which are adverse to the interests of the country?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. William Graham)I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which was given on this subject to the hon. Member for the Western Isles (Mr. Ramsay) on 14th April.
