HC Deb 19 December 1933 vol 284 c1097
22. Mr. REMER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the agreement between the eight leading manufacturers and the wholesale traders restricting the sale of radio receivers and wireless sets to certain wholesale dealers; and, in view of the detriment to the progress of the industry caused by such agreements, what steps he is taking to prevent them?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am aware that certain manufacturers of wireless sets have entered into an agreement for exclusive dealing with certain wholesalers, and that other manufacturers and other wholesalers are not parties to this agreement. I see no reason for taking any action in the matter.
