HC Deb 17 March 1931 vol 249 c1851
64. Mr. WHITE

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent the prices of dyestuffs made in this country have been reduced since 14th January, 1931?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

I am not aware of general reduction since the date mentioned.

Mr. WHITE

Was it not the understanding, when the Dyestuffs (Import Regulation) Act was renewed, that there would be a reduction?

Mr. GRAHAM

I do not think that that emerged from the Debate. Probably what my hon. Friend has in mind is the abolition of the price factor, which, of course, is subject to other conditions.
